The method of simulating recruitment variability using observed ratios of 0 year krill to the total population is validated and tested. The method also links natural mortality to krill recruitment. Incorporation into the SKDM increases the variability of the krill population dynamics predicted by the model, although median escapement is similar to the previous formulation of the model.
Abstract:
The parameters used to model gear selectivity and maturity at length in the SKDM were derived from data available at the CCAMLR Data Centre or in documents submitted to past meetings of the Scientific Committee. In the SKDM, if l50 for selectivity and maturity is to be sampled from a uniform distribution, and applied to a standard function width, then these should be
lr50 = U[30,39] wr = 9mm for gear selectivity
Im50 = U[32,37] wm = 6mm for maturity

Abstract:
Ten hauling for Dissostichus eleginoides were performed from the 11lth to the 21 of April 1994, wich were related between them, when they contact within a circle of 10 nm of diameter, whose center was at 55° 03’ S 36° 53’ W. Leslie Method was applied to the data. initial biomass was projected to 3244.8 nm2, obtaining an estimated biomass of 937.8 ton. Due to statistical limitations of these data, another analisis based in the density (Kg/nm2) on the fished area was used. The positions given by the vessel were confirmed with information obtained from an automatic position system (ARGOS).

Abstract:
A total of 63 hauls and 10 oceanographical legs were obtained. Of these, 44 hauls taken in Subarea 48.3 on a random stratified des n are used to estimate the standing stocks of the main commercial fish species along different methods, as well as their length frequency distributions. A change in surface water temperature of about -0.5 to -1.0 in a period of approximately 20 days was detected around South Georgia Islands. In the Scotia Sea the boundary of the Weddell-Scotia confluence was found within historical limits while surface water (down to 50/70 meters) was warmer than expected. It was also found that the spatial structure of fish populations significantly affects the results of biomass estimates.
