Spatial scales of benthic invertebrate habitats from fishery by catch and video transect data in the Ross Sea region
presence of sponge and/or gorgonian bycatch are identifiable, as are several areas of dense fishing effort ... with no evidence of sponge or gorgonian presence. Identifiable sponge and/or gorgonian habitats ... occurred at a typical scale of 10-30 km 2, though some sponge habitats appeared larger. Spatial analysis of ... these data allows the detectability of sponges and gorgonian corals to be estimated, along with changes ...

Preliminary examination of otolith microchemistry to determine stock structure in Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) between SSRU 88.1C and 88.2H
Abstract: Life history characteristics of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni), were ... concentrations in the otolith edge and then to (ii) assess the potential of natal signatures to distinguish ... shown. This resulted in the correct classification of 63% of fish overall to their original capture ... sites. Discrimination of otolith natal signatures using Al:Ca and Zn:Ca showed greater classification ...
