1. Incorporation of a model of krill recruitment into the Butterworth et al. Stochastic krill dynamics model (SKDM)

   Abstract:  The method of simulating recruitment variability using observed ratios of 0 year krill ... to the total population is validated and tested. The method also links natural mortality to krill ... recruitment. Incorporation into the SKDM increases the variability of the krill population dynamics predicted ... by the model, although median escapement is similar to the previous formulation of the model.

The analysis of age composition of icefish in subarea 48.3 showed ... that the catches consisted mainly of individuals of 2-4 age groups, where more than 60% were ... represented by fish of two contiguous age groups. It was shown that in the 1980s during a number of years the ... class. These year classes appeared against a background of the intensive icefish fishery, and krill ...

4. Detecting trends in the krill fishery

   Abstract:  The development of the krill fishery can be monitored and predicted using a number of ... different sources of information. Information on current catches and scientific information on the krill ... stocks is of limited value in plotting trends in the fishery at its current level. Predictions by Members ... of their future plans are also of limited use because they ultimately depend on the underlying ...
