1. Net-based verification of acoustic techniques used to identify Antarctic krill

   Abstract:  Acoustic target classification protocols recently adopted by utilising the Stochastic Distorted Wave Approximation (SDWBA) krill target strength model, are assessed. Three frequency acoustic data and concurrent net information, from 16 net hauls through krill aggregations, were collected

2. Preliminary acoustic results from the New Zealand IPY-CAML survey of the Ross Sea region in February-March 2008

   Abstract:  During February and March 2008 New Zealand carried out a major research voyage into the Ross Sea region in support of the International Polar Year Census of Antarctic Marine Life (IPY-CAML). The 50 day voyage on the research vessel Tangaroa involved an extensive survey of marine

3. AN IMPACT ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK FOR BOTTOM FISHING METHODS IN THE CCAMLR AREA

   Abstract:  This paper presents a methodological framework to estimate the likely cumulative impact on fragile benthic organisms from bottom fishing activity. The approach has been designed to facilitate standardized application among various gear types and areas to allow comparisons between

4. CONVERSION FACTORS AND GREEN WEIGHT CALCULATION IN THE ANTARCTIC KRILL FISHERY

   Abstract:  Information was taken from CCAMLR observer reports and interviews with fishing masters; The variation in reported conversion factors for similar reported products can be attributed to a number of reasons:.; o Differences in the method of processing the same products o Seasonal variation

5. IMPLEMENTATION OF CCAMLR OBSERVER PROGRAM ON KRILL FISHERIES

   Abstract:  The aim of this document is to serve as an objective guideline to decide on an appropriate observer coverage to understand overall behaviour and impact of the fishery. CCAMLR Observer data, together with haul-by-haul fine-scale data were used to identify the target SSMUs and the critical

6. EVALUATION OF VME TAXA MONITORING BY OBSERVERS FROM FIVE VESSELS IN THE ROSS SEA REGION ANTARCTIC TOOTHFISH LONGLINE FISHERIES DURING THE 2008-09 SEASON

   Abstract:  Conservation Measure 22-07 (2008) requires vessels fishing in the Ross Sea region (and most areas south of 60 °S) to monitor longline bycatch for VME indicator organisms. Observers classified invertebrate bycatch using new protocols and a new VME taxa classification guide, and retained

7. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NEW ZEALAND SCIENTIFIC OBSERVER EFFORTS IN THE CCAMLR AREA

   Abstract:  A brief description of New Zealand scientific observer efforts in the CCAMLR Area is provided. The nature and extent of observer deployments in the CCAMLR Area are briefly described (c. 500 sea days p.a. in three Subareas). The general training of observers through to post-voyage

8. REPORT ON THE ABANDONED GILLNET RETRIEVAL OPERATION CONDUCTED BY AUSTRALIA IN CCAMLR STATISTICAL DIVISION 58.4.3B (BANZARE BANK)

   Abstract:  Illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing vessels are increasingly using gillnets as a fishing method to target toothfish in the Convention area. Estimating the impact of IUU fishing is hampered by a lack of data on the design, deployment, catch and bycatch rates of gill nets.
