Abstract

Based on a tentative adjustment of catches of Notothenia gibberifrons previously reported as ‘Pisces nei’ an attempt is made to reconstruct the fishery on that species between 1977/78 and 1985/86. Stock size until the mid 1980s seemed to be more reduced than previously assumed. The current state of the stock is unknown.
