1. Genetic variation among populations of the Antarctic toothfish: evolutionary insights and implications for conservation

   with over 70% of the world’s fish stocks being fully exploited and in many cases overexploited. On top ... of this, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has ... granted commercial fishing permits in the most remote marine environment on earth, the high latitude ...

3. The winter pack-ice zone provides a sheltered but food-poor habitat for larval Antarctic krill

   Abstract:  A dominant Antarctic ecological paradigm suggests that winter sea ice is generally the ... main feeding ground for krill larvae. Observations from our winter cruise to the southwest Atlantic ... sector of the Southern Ocean contradict this view and present the first evidence that the pack-ice zone ... is a food-poor habitat for larval development. In contrast, the more open marginal ice zone provides ...

5. Using acoustic echo counting to estimate grenadier abundance in the Ross Sea (SSRU88.1I)

   Abstract:  Grenadiers (Macrourus spp.) are the main bycatch species in the exploratory longline ... fishery for toothfish in the Ross Sea. Previous studies concluded that acoustics methods could be used to ... index the relative abundance of grenadiers and be useful for exploring spatial distribution. Automated ... longline catches of grenadiers and toothfish. Single targets were most abundant within 250 m of the bottom ...
