1. Seabird by-catch in the Patagonian toothfish longline fishery at the Prince Edward Islands: 2001–2002

   Abstract:  This paper summarises seabird bycatch during 1 July 2001-30 June 2002 of sanctioned longline fishing for Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides in the Exclusive Economic Zone around South Africa’s Prince Edward Islands. Data were obtained from fishery observers aboard all nine

2. Progress report of Chilean research on albatross ecology and conservation

   Abstract:  Two species of albatross breed in Chile, namely Thalassarche melanophrys and T. chrysostoma, and feed both in Antarctic waters and the South-eastern Pacific. Consequently they are subject to two different management regimes. This fact and the article XI of the CCAMLR Convention, suggests

4. Some biological characteristics of Antarctic fish stocks in the Elephant Island–South Shetland Island region in January–February 2002

   Abstract:  Germany conducted a bottom trawl survey aboard RV ‘Polarstern’ around Elephant Island and the lower South Shetland Islands in January–February 2002 in close collaboration with the US Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program (AMLR). Length–weight relationships were similar in the two

5. Mesoscale abundance of fish in a ‘box’ west of Elephant Island

   Abstract:  Germany, in close collaboration with the United States Antarctic Marine Living (U.S. AMLR) Program, conducted an investigation of an 7 x 10 nm ‘box’ between 100 and 300 m depth to the west of Elephant Island (Subarea 48.1) in order to study the meso – scale abundance of demersal finfish

6. Demersal longlines with integrated weight: a preliminary assessment of sink rates, fish catch success and operational effects

   Abstract:  Conservation Measure # 216 requires vessels fishing in sub area 88.1 + sink longlines at 0.3 m/s to 15 m depth. Sink rates can be achieved by adding external weights to lines or by using lines with weigh integrated into the rope fibres. The sink rates to 15 m depth of 9 mm demersal

8. Standing stock estimates of finfish biomass from the 2002 Polarstern bottom trawl survey around Elephant Island and the South Shetland Islands (Subarea 48.1) with some notes on the composition of catches taken north of Joinville Island – D’Urville Island

   Abstract:  Germany conducted a bottom trawl survey aboard R/V ‘Polarstern’ around Elephant Island and the South Shetland Islands in January – February 2002 in close collaboration with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program (AMLR). Information on species composition, biomass, and size

9. How fast do demersal longlines sink?

   Abstract:  Longlines that sink fast reduce the time available to seabirds to attack baited hooks and are important in efforts to minimise seabird by-catch in longline fisheries. We measured sink rates in still water of longlines made by Fiskevegn, the world’s leading manufacturer of demersal

10. Fecundity and size at sexual maturity of the bigeye grenadier (Macrourus holotrachys) at South Georgia (CCAMLR Subarea 48.3)

    Abstract:  Fecundity and size at sexual maturity were investigated in 486 bigeye grenadier, Macrourus holotrachys caught as bycatch in the Patagonian toothfish longline fishery conducted around South Georgia. Macroscopic and histological investigations revealed that absolute fecundity ranged from
