1. Pilot test of techniques to mitigate seabird interactions with catcher processor vessels in the Bering Sea pollock trawl fishery: final report

   Abstract:  We carried out a pilot research program in collaboration with industry to identify techniques for future testing that are likely to reduce seabird interactions with catcher processor trawl vessels operating the Bering Sea fishery for pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and that are practical

2. Results of the scientific research survey in CCAMLR Subarea 88.3 in the 2004/05 season

   Abstract:  Results from the New Zealand research survey in CCAMLR Subarea 88.3 in February 2005 are presented. While ice conditions prevented the successful completion of the full research plan as approved at CCAMLR XXIII, research activities were completed with 10 research hauls, temperature

5. Seabird mortality associated with Patagonian toothfish longliners in Falkland Island waters during 2002/03 and 2003/04

   Abstract:  The Patagonian toothfish longline fishery set approximately 7.5 million hooks and 9.6 million hooks in 2002/03 and 2003/04, respectively. Observers were present during the setting of 59% of all lines set during 2002 – 2004 to record adherence to the above provisions and record seabird

6. Proposal for a mark–recapture experiment to estimate toothfish population size in Subarea 48.4

   Abstract:  One UK vessel fished around the South Sandwich Islands (Subarea 48.4) in in July, 2005 in accordance with CM 41-03. During this time fish were tagged in order to start a mark-recapture programme to assess the toothfish population. Catch rates were similar to those experienced in Subarea

7. Estimating fishing gear selectivity for Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) caught by trawlers on the Heard Island plateau region (Division 58.5.2) using trawl and longline length frequency data and forward-calculated continuation ratios

   Abstract:  Length-dependent fishing selectivity for trawlers fishing for the Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) on the Heard Island Plateau (Division 58.5.2) was modelled as a 3-segment linear model, which has ascending lower and descending upper arms corresponding to lower and upper

8. Analysis of albatross and petrel distribution within the CCAMLR Convention Area: results from the global procellariiform tracking database

   Abstract:  This paper presents an analysis of the distribution of albatrosses and petrels in the CCAMLR Convention Area (areas, sub-areas, divisions and sub-divisions), based on data from the Global Procellariiform Tracking Database. The results highlight the importance of the CCAMLR area,

9. Oceanological factors affecting formation of mackerel icefish aggregations in the South Georgia area during different seasons of the year

   Abstract:  In wintering period icefish do not form aggregations, is feeding inactively and disperse at the depths more than 250 m within rather narrow temperature range (1.6-1,7ºC). In this period the water temperature is a limiting factor restricting fish distribution. In spring-summer icefish are

10. Reasons of differences between distribution and density of mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) aggregations in the South Georgia area during summer and autumn periods in different years from the bottom trawl survey data

    Abstract:  During the feeding period icefish aggregations are confined to a frontal zone between opposite flows (coastal circumfluent current and ACC) or formed inside quasistationary circulations, where the largest aggregations of food organisms are concentrated at the beginning of the spring
