7. Results of the 2015 multi-Member longline survey for toothfish in the northern Ross Sea region (Subarea 88.2 SSRUs A–B) and proposal for 2016 operations

   Abstract:  The first year of a two-year and multi-member research survey using standardised longline gear to sample toothfish populations was carried out in the northern areas (60°‑ 66° S) of SSRUs 88.2A–B. The sampling strategy and data collection adhered to standards set in CM 41-10 (2014). A

8. Have Antarctic toothfish returned to McMurdo Sound?

   Abstract:  A dramatic reduction in catch rates of Antarctic toothfish in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, has led to conclusions that the commercial bottom longline fishery for toothfish in the Ross Sea has drastically altered the toothfish population with cascading effects on the McMurdo Sound ecosystem

9. A proposal for a standardised survey for Antarctic toothfish in McMurdo Sound

   Abstract:  We propose to implement a random, depth-stratified vertical longline survey conducted through the annual sea ice in McMurdo Sound to monitor the age composition, diet, maturity, and local abundance of Antarctic toothfish. A pilot season was carried out in 2014, where sampling gear and

10. Revised proposal to continue the time series of research surveys to monitor abundance of Antarctic toothfish in the southern Ross Sea, 2016 and 2017

    Abstract:  A research proposal to continue the southern Ross Sea sub-adult toothfish survey for the next two years, 2016 and 2017, is presented. The survey will continue to focus primarily on estimating the relative abundance of sub-adult (<110 cm TL) toothfish in the core strata (A, B, C) in
