3. Foraging location and range of white-chinned petrels Procellaria aequinoctialis breeding in the south Atlantic

   Abstract:  The foraging range and principal feeding areas of White-chinned Petrels breeding at South Georgia were determined using satellite telemetry. Foraging trips during incubation lasted 12–15 days and covered 3000–8000 km and 2–11 days and 1100–5900 km during chick-rearing. Adults covered

10. Distribution, demography and discard mortality of crabs caught as by-catch in an experimental pot fishery for toothfish in the South Atlantic

    Abstract:  Between March 2000 and April 2001 two commercial fishing vessels undertook trials at South Georgia of a method of fishing for toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) using pots. A significant bycatch of lithodid crabs (three species of Paralomis spp.) was encountered. Paralomis spinosissima
