A circumpolar pelagic regionalisation of the Southern Ocean
Abstract: This short note describes a circumpolar, pelagic regionalisation of the Southern Ocean ... south of 40°S, based on sea surface temperature, depth, and sea ice information. The results show a ... series of latitudinal bands in open ocean areas, consistent with the oceanic fronts. Around islands and ... continents, the spatial scale of the patterns is finer, and is driven by variations in depth and sea ice. The ...

A meta-analysis of by-catch in the Ross Sea toothfish fishery
Abstract: Following the recommendation of WG-FSA in 2014 the Secretariat has undertaken an ... analysis of bycatch in CCAMLR longline fisheries. The numerical target catch ratio (the number of target ... fish as a proportion of the total number of fish caught), using haul by haul data from the Ross Sea ... toothfish fishery from 2008 – 2014, was used as a single metric to examine the amount of bycatch reported by ...

Investigation of bias in the mark–recapture estimate of toothfish population size at South Georgia
Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of mixing of fish, and the uneven distribution of ... tag placements and recapture effort, on bias in the Petersen estimate. It does so by constructing a ... linear model of the South Georgia toothfish fishery, simulating fish movements within this system and ... overlaying various combinations of tagging and recapture effort to investigate bias.
