Further review of CCAMLR tagging programmes S. Parker and J. Fenaughty (New Zealand)
Abstract:
We review tagging protocol changes made in 2012/13 and provide further recommendations to improve the quality of collected tagging programme data, and conduct research to improve effective tag releases and recoveries. We also provide a tagging training module to inform vessel observers and crew on tagging procedures.

Tag linking – 2022 report CCAMLR Secretariat
Abstract:
This document summarizes the method used to link releases and recaptures of tagged toothfish and skates in the Convention Area, and the current state of the database of linked tags held by the CCAMLR Secretariat. Thanks to improvements in data quality and the growing use of CCAMLR tags by Members, the quality of links has increased with time. To date, over 98% of recaptured fish have been Read More

A condition assessment and handling guideline for skate (Rajiforms) by-catch in longline fisheries: Lessons from the Southern Indian Ocean J. Faure, R. Jones, M. Grima, C. Péron, N. Gasco, T. Lamb, P. Ziegler and J. Cleeland
Abstract:
Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) are among the least productive fish species, which make their populations vulnerable to increased mortality. Although skates exhibit elevated vulnerability to fishing, they are commonly caught as incidental bycatch in demersal fisheries. Management measures to prevent the Read More

Measures to avoid bias in abundance estimates of Dissostichus spp. based on tag-recapture data D.C. Welsford and P.E. Ziegler (Australia)
Abstract:
Using the simplest form of an abundance estimator using tag-recapture data, the Lincoln-Petersen equation, we summarise the processes that may occur during a tagging program that lead to difficulty in accurately estimating key parameters, and consequently introduce bias into an abundance estimate. We also review the methods that have been used in CCAMLR tag recapture to program to mitigate Read More

Influence of tag numbers, size of tagged fish, duration of the tagging program, and auxiliary data on bias and precision of an integrated stock assessment P.E. Ziegler (Australia)
Abstract:
Using a modeling framework for toothfish population dynamics, fishing and data collection, this study investigated how the bias and precision of a CASAL assessment is influenced by various aspects of a tagging program, in particular the effects of the numbers of fish tagged, the duration of a tagging program, the size of tagged fish, and the type of auxiliary data used in the assessment.

Drawing on international experience to improve performance of CCAMLR tagging programs S. Parker and S. Mormede (New Zealand)
Abstract:
Mark-recapture methodologies are commonly used to inform the management of fisheries. In addition to answering targeted research questions, tagging programmes are typically used to describe movement patterns relative to stock unit identification or to support spatial disaggregation of stock assessment areas, and in some instances to derive population abundance estimates. This paper is intended Read More

Viability criteria for tagging toothfish S. Parker (New Zealand)
Abstract:
CCAMLR Conservation measures currently require vessels to tag only toothfish with a high probability of survival, but no objective criteria are provided for this evaluation. Achieving this requires an objective evaluation of the probability of survival of each fish to be tagged, which in turn requires objective criteria that link observable characteristics to survival. This paper proposes Read More

Recommendations for CCAMLR tagging procedures S. Parker, J. Fenaughty (New Zealand), E. Appleyard (Secretariat) and C. Heinecken (South Africa)
Abstract:
With the recognition that CCAMLR tagging programmes are used for abundance estimation of toothfish and skates, tagging operations need to be appropriately supported through documentation, training, and supplies. This paper reviews how tagging programme information could be effectively organised, provides a template training module for observers and vessel crew, and makes recommendations to Read More

An overview of tagging skates (Rajiformes) and CCAMLR skate tagging data S.R. McCully, D. Goldsmith, G. Burt, R. Scott and J.R. Ellis (United Kingdom)
Abstract:
Tagging studies of skates and rays worldwide provide valuable information to help better understand a wide range of metrics including movements and migrations, stock units, growth rates, longevity, discard survival and abundance. Most Antarctic skate species are little known and, coupled with taxonomic and identification problems, this makes the tagging studies undertaken in CCAMLR area a Read More

Chemical marking protocols for Antarctic starry skate age validation M. Francis and S. Parker
Abstract:
A field study is planned to validate the thorn ageing method for Antarctic starry skate (Amblyraja georgiana). This study is a fast, simple ‘add-on’ that will complement the aims of the skate tagging programme. The antibiotic terramycin (oxytetracycline hydrochloride, OTC) will be injected into skates brought into the boat for tagging during the 2019-20 skate tagging programme in the Read More

Summary of tagging procedures survey data received by the Secretariat from 2019 and 2020 CCAMLR Secretariat
Abstract:
Results from the tagging procedures survey circulated to vessels participating in exploratory fisheries from 2019 to 2020 are presented as background information for WS-TAG-2023. Results suggest that considerable variation in tagging procedures exists among vessels which may impact tagging program performance and also that vessel turnover may influence the level of experience and Read More

A brief history of toothfish tagging in the CAMLR Convention Area and discussions leading up to WS-TAG-2023 C.D. Jones
Abstract:
Toothfish have been tagged in CCAMLR fisheries since the late 1990’s, and information from the mark-recapture program has been used to estimate movement, growth and mortality rates, and abundance. Tagging of toothfish from fishing vessels in new and exploratory fisheries started in 2000/01, became mandatory in 2003/04, and continues today. This paper provides a Read More
