A spatial multi-species operating model (SMOM) of krill–predator interactions in small-scale management units in the Scotia Sea
Abstract: A Spatial Multi-species Operating Model (SMOM) of the underlying krill-predator-fishery ... dynamics is developed in response to requests for scientific advice regarding the subdivision of the ... precautionary catch limit for krill among 15 small-scale management units (SSMUs) in the Scotia Sea to reduce ... the potential impact of fishing on land-based predators. The model is intended to complement the ...

Notes on Champsocephalus gunnari biology, availability, diet and spatial distribution in the South Shetland and South Orkney Islands (Subareas 48.1 and 48.2)
Abstract: Stocks of the mackerel icefish Champsocephalus gunnari in the Southern Scotia arc ... region of the Southern Ocean (CCAMLR Subarea 48.1 & 48.2) have several different biological ... characteristics than stocks in the Northern Scotia Arc. The history of commercial C. gunnari exploitation in the ... Southern Scotia Arc was short lived and intense, and led to the collapse of the stocks. Stocks in this ...

Revised input parameters and implications for the Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) stock assessment in Subareas 88.1 and 88.2
Abstract: In this paper, we address a number of aspects of the model inputs and parameters of the ... Antarctic toothfish stock assessment for the Ross Sea fishery. In particular we review catch history, length ... runs that investigate the sensitivity of the 2006 stock assessment to changes in these model inputs and ... parameters. Tree-regression methods were used to investigate the areal structure of the length distribution ...

Preliminary assessment of mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, on the Heard Island Plateau (Division 58.5.2) based on a survey in April–May 2003
(Division 58.5.2) was undertaken using the standard CCAMLR methods, based on the result of a randomly ... stratified trawl survey completed between 16 April and 10 May 2003. The 2003 estimate of abundance was ... approximately 20% of the 2002 estimate. This decline in abundance is consistent with the passage of the strong ... 1997 cohort through the population and relatively weak recruitment in 1999 and 2000. The 1+ fish ...
