1. Seabird research at Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, Antarctica, 2005/06

   Abstract:  Our ninth complete consecutive season of seabird research at Cape Shirreff allowed us to assess trends in penguin population size, as well as inter-annual variation in reproductive success, diet and foraging behaviour. The gentoo penguin breeding population declined marginally from the

2. Brief report on scientific observation on the fishery vessel Mellas (FAO Statistical Area 41, January to July 2006)

   Abstract:  Materials on results of scientific observation in fishery cruise on the longliner “Mellas”, operating under the Ukrainian flag in FAO statistical area 41 in the southwest Atlantic outside exclusive (sea) economic zones of the foreign states at Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus

3. Standing stock, spatial distribution and biological features of demersal finfish from the 2006 US AMLR bottom trawl survey of the northern Antarctic Peninsula and Joinville–D’Urville Islands (Subarea 48.1)

   Abstract:  During February-March 2006, the United Station Antarctic Marine Living Resources (U.S. AMLR) Program in collaboration with the German Federal Research Centre for Fisheries conducted a bottom trawl survey of the northern Antarctic Peninsula (southern Bransfield Strait) and Joinville/D

4. Report of new longline system in the exploratory fisheries for Dissostichus spp. in 2005/06

   Abstract:  This document reports that how new bottom long line system instead of Spanish long line system was applied to exploratory long line fisheries for Dissostichus spp. in 2005/06 season, indicating distinctive points on fishing gear, line setting and line hauling process, and explaining the

5. Best practice seabird by-catch mitigation for Spanish-rig longline vessels with emphasis on line weighting regimes

   Abstract:  The Spanish system is used in a range of demersal and semi-pelagic longline fisheries throughout the southern hemisphere and has been the source of a large number of seabird fatalities. An experiment was conducted on a chartered Spanish-rig vessel to improve the sink rate of longlines to

6. On possible impact of new continuous krill fishing technology on juvenile fish and larvae

   Abstract:  The new continuous krill fishing system uses both a small-meshed midwater trawl and a powerful pumping system for continuous pumping the catch out of the trawl bag. It was discussed the potential threats of new technology to Antarctic marine ecosystem. It was shown that application of

7. Mercury concentrations in Patagonian toothfish, Dissostichus eleginoides Smitt 1898, among three distinct ocean basins

   Abstract:  Patagonian toothfish, Dissostichus eleginoides, collections (n-186) from three ocean basins were analysed for Hg concentration and comparisons were made by gender, total length (TL), wet weight (WW), and basin. There was no difference between TL-WW relationships by gender within any

8. Information on the status of fjord Notothenia rossii, Gobionotothen gibberifrons and Notothenia coriiceps in the lower South Shetland Islands derived from a long-term monitoring program (1983–2006) at Potter Cover

   Abstract:  The long term monitoring program of demersal fish at inshore sites of the South Shetland Islands has continued at Potter Cove from 2000 to 2006, covering a continuous sampling period of twenty four years, and at Harmony Cove, Nelson Island, in the austral summers from 2001 to 2003. The

9. Species profile for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni)

   Abstract:  A toothfish species profile, covering aspects of the biology, fisheries and stock assessment of both toothfish species was completed by Everson (2002). Aspects of the biology of D. mawsoni were summarised by Hanchet et al. (2003), whilst more recent research has been reported in

10. Stomach contents of sub-adult Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) from the western Ross Sea, Antarctica

    Abstract:  The stomach contents of 190 sub-adult (51-100 cm TL) Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) captured by bottom longline in the western Ross Sea were analysed. Fish were sampled during the 2005 fishing (Dec 2004 to Jun 2005) season and caught in 398-1678 m depths. Sub-adult D. mawsoni
