2. Evaluating the impact of multi-year research catch limits on overfished toothfish populations

   Abstract:  In stocks that have been depleted by overfishing, the benefits of additional fisheries ... removals for research purposes need to be evaluated against the risks that such catches may contribute to ... delaying the recovery of such stocks. Through simulating a Dissostichus eleginoides stock that has been ... decades to recover even in the absence of fishing, and apparently low levels of research catches can ...

3. Proposal to extend the fishing season for longline fishing in CCAMLR Statistical Division 58.5.2

   Abstract:  This paper summarises the historic effort and seabird bycatch mitigation measures that ... have applied to the Patagonian toothfish longline fishery in CCAMLR statistical division 58.5.2. It ... suggests that there is now sufficient experience to show that fishing under the current season timing and ... regime of mitigation measures poses a very low level of risk to seabirds. It proposes that the period ...

4. Nesting behaviour of the icefish Chaenocephalus aceratus at Bouvetøya Island, Southern Ocean (CCAMLR Subarea 48.6)

   Abstract:  In this paper we describe in situ observations on nesting by the Scotia Sea (or ... blackfin) icefish Chaenocephalus aceratus that constitute the first substantive evidence of egg brooding ... and parental care by species of the family Channichthyidae. These novel observations are enriched by ... descriptions of the seafloor community that is impacted by fish nesting. Given the vulnerability of spawning ...

6. An iterative model to construct an age-length key to assess the age composition of a new fishery for Dissostichus eleginoides in Chilean waters

   Abstract:  Traditional calculation of catch age composition estimate requires that the age-length ... data and random length frecuency be sampled from the same population, in other case an age-length key ... is capable of providing biased estimates of age distribution. By using the iteration algorithm is ... possible to overcome this limitation. The catch age composition for Dissostichus eleginoides was obteined ...
