3. Fisher training exchanges in seabird mitigation

   Abstract:  An initiative to provide training exchanges in seabird mitigation was trialled in 2004. The aim was to provide a placement for a fisher from a Latin American county on board a vessel operating in the New Zealand fishery, which had a proven record of seabird-friendly fishing techniques.

4. The use of sea lion exclusion devices in the New Zealand Auckland Islands shelf trawl squid fishery

   Abstract:  The New Zealand sea lion is taken incidental to trawl fisheries within New Zealand’s fisheries waters. About 99% of the incidental sea lion take occurs within the Auckland Islands region in association with a seasonal trawl fishery for squid. From 1995 through 2004, an estimated 79 (SD ±

6. Observer coverage required for the prediction of incidental capture of seabirds in New Zealand commercial fisheries

   Abstract:  This report obtains estimates of observer coverage required to predict the total numbers of incidental seabird captures (albatross and petrel taxa combined) in a fishery with a specified coefficient of variation. Fisheries analysed are determined by the quality and the availability of

8. A two-fleet ASPM assessment of the toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) resource in the Prince Edward Islands vicinity

   Abstract:  The ASPM assessment of the Prince Edward Islands toothfish resource by Brandão and Butterworth (2004) that permitted annual fluctuations about a deterministic stock-recruitment relationship is updated to take account of further catch, GLM standardised CPUE and catch-at- length

9. Age validation of Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) from Heard and Macquarie Islands

   Abstract:  Patagonian toothfish, (Dissostichus eleginoides) have traditionally been aged by counting presumed growth increments on the sectioned face of sagittal otoliths. While there is a general consensus that the observed increments represent annual events, no direct validation has been provided

10. First increment validation of Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) from Heard Island

    Abstract:  Patagonian toothfish, (Dissostichus eleginoides) have traditionally been aged assuming one opaque and one translucent increment is formed each year on the sectioned face of sagittal otoliths. It has been recorded that differences in otolith interpretation exist between institutes
