This report describes and quantifies the occurrence of marine debris and fishing gear associated with seabirds in the same way as in 1993/1994. In 1994/1995 there was a decrease in both the number of plastic debris items and fishing hooks and lines found. Although this result is encouraging, the decrease is due at least in part to, first, fewer birds examined than last year as a consequence of Read More

Trawlers caused high mortality only for Champsocephalus gunnari fisheries’ operations, mainly in February (chick's rearing Read More

Six records of entanglements of six species of birds from 1986 to 1994 at sub-Antarctic Marion Island are briefly reported. This low level seems typical for Southern Ocean seabirds.

In 1995 there was increased interest in fishing for Martialia hyadesi in waters adjacent to the Convention Area, with a catch in excess of 12,000 tonnes. Recent improvements in processing techniques for this squid also enhance commercial prospects and may promote interest in fishing in Convention waters. Although regulations for fishing of squid in nearby waters provide a useful model Read More
