1. Predicting fishing ground accessibility in the Antarctic Weddell Sea

   Abstract:  Sea ice is a major constraint of fishery performance in the Southern Ocean seasonal sea ... ice zone. We use sea ice concentration data from 2002-2017 that cover the wider Weddell Sea to ... establish statistical models of (i) accessibility, i.e. the probability that a particular area is navigable ... by fishery vessels at a given time, and of (ii) repeated accessibility, i.e. the probability that a ...

4. Using the EPOC modelling framework to assess management procedures for Antarctic krill in Statistical Area 48: evaluating spatial differences in productivity of Antarctic krill

   Abstract:  Spatially explicit simulation models of the Antarctic marine ecosystem are needed to ... evaluate management procedures for the Antarctic krill fishery. The key issues to be resolved in the ... development of a harvest strategy are whether (i) spatial differences in the productivity of krill give rise ... , particularly as the fishery expands to take the large-scale catch limit. A fourth issue is to determine whether ...

5. By-catch in the Australian fisheries in Division 58.5.2

   Abstract:  This paper presents bycatch information for the Australian fisheries in Divisions ... 58.5.2 for the 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 seasons. Bycatch in the trawl fisheries was low, generally less ... than 1% of the total catch (target plus bycatch). Higher percentage bycatch rates occurred in trawling ... grounds where the fishing effort and therefore target catch was low. Bycatch in the longline fisheries was ...

7. Feasibility of lead-radium dating the otoliths of blackfin icefish (Chaenocephalus aceratus) and ocellated icefish (Chionodraco rastrospinosus)

   otoliths from these fishes were small and the number of otoliths available low, a whole otolith application ... was necessary as a first look at lead-radium levels. The application was successful as a first step in ... determining the parameters of future applications that would lead to a validation of age. In the current study ... , sample mass for the pooled otolith samples was low (~0.4 g). This finding, coupled with low radium-226 ...
