1. Characterisation of skate catches in the Ross Sea region

   Abstract:  The toothfish fishery in the Ross Sea region (CCAMLR Subareas 881 and 882) has been operating since the 1996–97 fishing season. The fishery has increased to an annual Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) catch of about 3000 t. Skates form a small proportion of the total catch

2. Stability of trip selections for the assessment of Antarctic toothfish in the Ross Sea

   Abstract:  A dataset for the 2009 assessment of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the Ross Sea was selected on the basis of data quality metrics for individual trips. Initial informative datasets were selected comprising trips with high (above median) rates of recovery of previously

3. Revised biological parameters for the Antarctic skates Amblyraja georgiana and Bathyraja cf. eatonii from theRoss Sea

   Abstract:  Revised weight-length and length-length regressions are provided for Amblyraja georgiana and Bathyraja cf. eatonii. Significant differences between males and females occurred for all comparisons except for B. cf. eatonii length-length regressions. Some observer maturity staging data were

4. An updated glossary of terms relevant to the management of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) in the CCAMLR Area

   Abstract:  In 2009 SC-CCAMLR identified a list of tasks to be considered intersessionally to progress a framework to manage the risk that bottom fishing in the CCAMLR Area may produce significant adverse impacts on certain benthic habitats, termed Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs). One of the

5. Development of methods for evaluating the management of benthic impacts from longline fishing using spatially explicit production models, including model validation

   Abstract:  An important management objective for CCAMLR in the high seas region of the Antarctic is to develop appropriate methods of monitoring and managing impacts of bottom fisheries on vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs). We describe a spatially explicit production model that can be used to

6. Further analysis of spatial patterns of benthic invertebrate habitats from fishery bycatch in the Ross Sea region

   Abstract:  High resolution VME taxa bycatch data (at the longline segment level) have been collected for two fishing seasons, with 4 728 longline segments observed. Several regions with consistent presence of VME taxa bycatch are identifiable, as are several areas of dense fishing effort with no

7. Updated impact assessment framework to estimate the cumulative footprint and impact on VME taxa of bottom longline fisheries in the CCAMLR Area

   Abstract:  ABSTRACT Since 2008 New Zealand has been developing an impact assessment framework to estimate the likely impacts of bottom longline fishing on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs), as required by Conservation Measure 22-06. The most recent iteration of the impact assessment (Sharp 2010)

8. Developing a Ross Sea region medium-term data collection plan

   Abstract:  Data are collected for use in scientific research, the results of which are used to inform management decisions made to achieve specific goals. Any data collection plan should be drawn from the goals the management wishes to achieve. The Scientific Committee has recommended the

9. DNA barcoding highlights a cryptic species of grenadier (genus Macrourus) in the Southern Ocean

   Abstract:  The genus Macrourus is a small group of bentho-pelagic fishes with three species recognized in the Southern Ocean and one in cold temperate to Arctic waters in the North Atlantic Ocean. DNA barcoding revealed low intra-species (0.0-0.002) and inter-species (0.006-0.020) sequence

10. Non-target species in the Patagonian toothfish fishery inside the French EEZ
