5. DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE MITIGATION TO REDUCE SEABIRD MORTALITY IN THE ICEFISH (CHAMPSOCEPHALUS GUNNARI) TRAWL FISHERY IN SUBAREA 48.3

   Abstract:  Seabird mortality levels caused by net entanglement in the icefish trawl fishery in Subarea 48.3 became a concern in the late 1990s. At this time there was little knowledge on how to mitigate such mortality. As an interim measures a vessel specific 20‐bird mortality threshold was
