The paper “The state of Dissostichus eleginoides stock and TAC for it for 1990/91 season in S.Georgia area (48.3)” presents the data on main biological characteristics of this species (Patagonien Toothfish), caught using long-line bishing in shelf waters of Shag Rocks and S.Georgia. While determining growth rate, size and age composition, natural mortality and catch statistics an attempt was made to determine total biomass of adult toothfish in the area under investigation and the value of possible catch at F0.1 and FMSY.

Abstract:
An outline is provided on data and analyses which would be required to improve the knowledge of the stocks and improve the Scientific Committee’s ability to provide less controversial management advoice. However, a level of uncertainty higher than in fish stock assessment in other parts of the World Ocean (e.g. the North Atlantic) has to be accepted and to be taken into account for fisheries management. As a result. advice provided by the WG FSA can rarely be unequivocal, albeit it has to be considered as ‘the best scientific evidence currently available’.
