1. SPATIAL POPULATION MODEL USER MANUAL

   Abstract:  The Spatial Population Model (SPM) is a generalised spatially explicit age-structured population dynamics and movement model. SPM can model population dynamics and movement parameters for an age-structured population using a range of observations, including tagging, relative abundance,

2. DEVELOPMENT OF SPATIALLY EXPLICIT AGE-STRUCTURED POPULATION DYNAMICS OPERATING MODELS FOR ANTARCTIC TOOTHFISH IN THE ROSS SEA

   Abstract:  We present developments towards spatially explicit age-structured population dynamics operating models for Antarctic toothfish in the Ross Sea. The operating models consider both a coarse-scale and fine-scale spatial resolution and consider scenarios where abundance can be present over

3. IDENTIFICATION OF DATA QUALITY METRICS FOR TAGGING DATA SELECTION

   Abstract:  The suite of data quality metrics introduced by Middleton & Dunn (2008) is examined to identify those metrics that are most informative with respect to the identification of good tagging data. Trips considered to have “known” good tagging data are identified, based on above-median

4. ANALYSIS OF ICE-FISH (CHAMPSOCEPHALUS GUNNARI) SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF THE BOTTOM TRAWL SURVEY SAMPLING

   Abstract:  Acoustic and trawl samples obtained in the near-bottom layers covered by bottom trawl surveys in the South Georgia area are analyzed. The high heterogeneity of horizontal and vertical fish distribution in the near-bottom layers within the surveyed area is shown. Influence of this fish

7. PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE SCIENTIFIC OBSERVERS MANUAL

   Abstract:  The Secretariat has made changes to the Observers Manual to reflect the current advice from the Scientific Committee and its Working Groups. These changes are presented as an annotated Table of Contents, with a full track-change version of the Manual provided as an appendix. Two

9. IS THE BYCATCH OF VULNERABLE INVERTEBRATE TAXA ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH CATCH RATES OF FISH IN THE ROSS SEA LONGLINE FISHERIES?

   Abstract:  Protecting vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) from significant adverse impacts caused by fishing activities requires knowledge of the distribution of those communities relative to the fishing footprint. If high fish catch rates are associated with habitats where VMEs are found, impacts

10. IDENTIFYING TAXONOMIC GROUPS AS VULNERABLE TO BOTTOM LONGLINE FISHING GEAR IN THE ROSS SEA REGION

    Abstract:  Implementing measures to avoid significant adverse impacts to vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) requires a specific list of the taxa that are considered vulnerable. New Zealand identified an interim list of taxa to monitor in fishery bycatch in the Ross Sea as part of its 2008 benthic
