2. Aspects of the ecology of the bigeye grenadier at South Georgia

   Abstract:  Aspects of the ecology of the Bigeye grenadier, Macrourus holotrachys caught as bycatch in the Patagonian toothfish longline fishery conducted around South Georgia were investigated. Age estimates suggest that M. holotrachys is a long lived and moderately slow growing species, reaching

4. Streamer lines to reduce seabird by-catch in longline fisheries

   Abstract:  This two-page flyer targets commercial longline fishermen in Alaska. Aspects of the streamer line developed in the course of research in Alaskan demersal longline fisheries are described including materials and performance standards. Author(s):  E.F. Melvin (USA) Title:  Streamer lines

5. Off the hook: an informational video for Alaska longliners

   Abstract:  The video portrays a variety of seabird species in flight and interacting with longline gear. Also demonstrates how to rig and deploy streamer lines – a seabird bycatch deterrent required on most Alaska longlines beginning in 2004. Author(s):  E.F. Melvin and D. Mercy (USA) Title:  Off

6. Focusing and testing fisher know-how to solve conservation problems: a common sense approach

   Abstract:  Worldwide, the incidental capture or bycatch of marine organisms, especially mammals, turtles and seabirds, can pose serious threats to specific animal populations causing public outcry and regulatory attention. When such issues arise, especially in US fisheries, they can threaten

8. CCAMLR streamer line requirements revisited

   Abstract:  The streamer line has become the primary seabird mitigation device prescribed and used in most longline fisheries throughout the world, based to a large degree on the precedent set by CCAMLR in 1991. This discussion paper responds to the interest of the IMAF working group to consider

10. Descriptive analysis of acoustic data collected during the 2003 exploratory fishery for toothfish in the Ross Sea

    Abstract:  This report presents results from a pilot study to determine the feasibility of conducting acoustic surveys for toothfish and rattails in the Ross Sea. Acoustic data were collected during the 2002–03 exploratory fishery. Data were recorded continuously from 28 December to 2 February 2003
