This paper describes an updated CASAL based assessment and stock projection for Patagonian toothfish (D. eleginoides) in Subarea 48.4.

Assessment of the Patagonian toothfish (D. eleginoides) in Subarea 48.3 indicates that the current status of the stock is at 51% of B₀. Spawning biomass has been increasing in recent years. Projections indicate that a constant catch of 2 600 tonnes in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons would be consistent with the CCAMLR decision rule.

Submissions for new research proposals and data collection programmes on D. mawsoni in Subarea 48 have recently become widely dispersed with little co-ordination or integration into existing programmes and their objectives.

It is included the growth parameters estimates by sex. Growth parameters obtained using length-age pair values are: L∞: 208.2, k: 0.074 and t0: 0.564 for females; L∞: 173, k: 0.089 Read More

Owing to commercial fishing during the late 1970s/early 1980s, targeted notothenioid species had become depleted around the South Shetland Islands. Herein we report subsequent changes in the prevalence of three species, Notothenia rossii, Gobionotothen gibberifrons and Notothenia coriiceps in Potter Cove, King George Islands/ Isla 25 de Mayo, in a 33-year effort to Read More

In the present study, the concentrations of total mercury in different organs of the Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) collected from CCAMLR research blocks in Subarea 88.3 and Division 58.4.1 off the coast of Antarctica were determined. The results revealed total mercury concentrations of 0.165 ± 0.095 mg/kg (0.023–0.454 mg/kg) in the Antarctic toothfish. In fish muscle, Read More

Stomach contents of the Antarctic toothfish, Dissostichus mawsoni, collected from Subareas 58.4 and 88.3 were analyzed using next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. After processing the raw reads generated by the MiSeq platform, a total of 131,233 contigs (130 operational taxonomic units [OTUs]) were obtained from 163 individuals in subarea 58.4, and 75,961 contigs (105 OTUs) Read More

This study investigated maturation and spawning of Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides in the Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) fishery on the Kerguelen Plateau in the Indian Sector of the Southern Ocean based on gonads and otoliths collected between years 2004–2015, and using histological analyses and calibration of macroscopic staging criteria. Dissostichus Read More

This paper proposes to continue the Ross Sea shelf toothfish survey for the next five years, 2018–2022. The first objective of the survey is to monitor toothfish recruitment in the southern Ross Sea (core strata). This is a continuation of the yearly time series of research surveys of these strata carried out since 2012. It is important to continue the time series as the data collected provide Read More
