Abstract:
This paper contains the revised version of the proposed draft Conservation Measure establishing a Marine Protected Area in Domain 1 (Western Antarctic Peninsula and South Scotia Arc) as presented in last year’s paper CC-CCAMLR-38/25 Rev 1.
The revised version of the D1MPA proposal addresses outstanding issues as raised by Members during the SC-CCAMLR 37 in 2018. The rationale underlying the modifications in the D1MPA Model, aimed to achieve conservation objectives agreed during the two CCAMLR International Workshops (2012 and 2015) while also seeking to adequately consider the krill fishery distribution. A background paper with the rationale supporting the changes has also been presented (CCAMLR-39/BG/02). Since the initial presentation of the proposal in 2018, both Argentina and Chile have been openly available to engage with interested Members so as to address any outstanding concerns. Both Members are nonetheless of the view that the proposal's solid scientific foundations are sufficient to present the proposal for the Commission's consideration in 2020.

Abstract:
The annual random stratified trawl survey was undertaken in Division 58.5.2 in the vicinity of Heard Island and McDonald Islands during April 2020. Based on data from this survey, this paper provides an assessment of mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) population structure, abundance and yield in Division 58.5.2 to the west of 79o 20’ E using standard CCAMLR methods (CMIX and Generalized Yield Model). Additionally, recent work has been undertaken as part of the krill management strategy re-implementing the Generalized Yield Model software in R, and the two implementations resulted in highly consistent assessment results.
The 2020 survey showed a large 2+ cohort in the population and a high biomass. Based on the Grym implementation, catches of 1276 t in the 2020/21 season and 1047 t in the 2021/22 season satisfy the CCAMLR decision rules.
