3. Research plan for toothfish in Division 58.4.4a & b by Shinsei Maru No. 3 in 2013/14

   Division 58.4.4 a & b. Regarding SSRU C, the stock size was estimated by using following six methods; 1 ... ) CASAL_0_IUU model, and 6) CASAL_all_IUU model. This approach was made based on the WG-FSA’s recommendation ... stating that the sensitivity run of the CASAL model should be made by using levels of IUU ranging from ... zero to all observed IUU fishing, and using constant YCS (year class strength)  in SSRU C. The ...

4. Fishing for structure; can we describe normal patterns in toothfish fishing operations using catch and effort data?

   Abstract:  We describe the typical steps involved in demersal longline fishing operations for ... toothfish in CCAMLR fisheries and link those steps to the variables recorded as part of the CCAMLR catch and ... effort data reporting system. We then describe statistical properties of the recorded variables and how ... more difficult to evaluate given the wide range of influences that may affect recorded values for a ...
