Lipid metabolism and indices of oxidation processes obtained during examination of specimens of Antarctic toothfish Dissostichus mawsoni (Perciformes: Nototheniidae) caught in the Ross Sea are given. Blood plasma, tissues mesonephric kidney, liver and spleen were studied for the content of total lipids and lipid composition, products of lipid peroxidation and level of antioxidant protection. Biochemical status of immune organs depending on the structural and functional characteristics of tissues was established.Lipid metabolism and indices of oxidation processes obtained during examination of specimens of Antarctic toothfish Dissostichus mawsoni (Perciformes: Nototheniidae) caught in the Ross Sea are given.

The Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni Norman, 1937) is one of the main target species of commercial fisheries in the Antarctic. It is an endemic and is found along the shelf of Antarctica, as well as on the slopes of seamounts, underwater elevations and islands in the sub-Antarctic. It feeds on a variety of fish and cephalopods and can be an intermediate/paratenic host of some helminthes, whose final hosts are whales, seals, large rays and sharks. This article presents new data on toothfish infection in the Pacific sector of the Antarctic. Specimens were examined during commercial longline fishing in the Ross Sea and the Amundsen Sea in January-February 2013. Fourteen species of parasites were found using standard parasitological methods and genetic analysis.

This paper provides an overview of the case of the Korean fishing vessel Hongjin 707 and recommendations for actions from CCAMLR. Since the Hongjin 707 has engaged in IUU fishing, it is appropriate for CCAMLR to include the vessel on the Contracting Party (CP)-IUU list and to request Korea to withdraw its notifications for the vessel for the 2016-2017 fishing season. It is critical for CCAMLR and for Korea that a known violator of CCAMLR CMs is prevented from fishing in the Convention Area. CCAMLR should also discuss their views on appropriate response by Members when their flagged vessels engage in IUU fishing, and specifically on what criteria should be fulfilled before any vessel is re-approved for fishing.

Le continent antarctique a été découvert en 1820 pendant une expédition russe sous le commandement de M. P. Lazarev et F. F. Bellingshausen.

L'aire marine protégée sur le plateau sud des îles Orcades du Sud (AMP SOISS) établie par la CCAMLR dans la sous-zone 48.2 à l'initiative du Royaume-Uni existe depuis plus de sept ans (mesure de conservation MC 91-03, 2009). Pourtant, plusieurs questions liées à des aspects scientifiques et juridiques de cette AMP demandent encore une clarification. L'AMP SOISS étant la première AMP à avoir été établie par la CCAMLR, les enseignements qui en sont tirés sont importants pour les autres propositions de création d'AMP dans la zone de la Convention.

Compte tenu de ce qui précède, nous estimons qu'il convient de formuler un certain nombre de commentaires concernant l'AMP SOISS, notamment du fait que la Fédération de Russie a pris une part active à la discussion des documents sur l'AMP SOISS aux forums de la CCAMLR.

Форма для представления предварительных оценок возможности того, что предложенный донный промысел будет иметь существенное негативное воздействие на уязвимые морские экосистемы (УМЭ) для ярусных судов Украины Simeiz, Koreiz, Marigolds.
