COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF BASIC BIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF TWO TOOTHFISH SPECIES IN HIGH-LATITUDE SEAS OF THE ANTARCTIC

Scientific data were obtained during the fishery cruise of Spanish long-liner «Tronio» in the areas of the Ross Sea and the Antarctic continental shelf (statistical subareas 88.1 and 58.4.1) outside the exclusive (marine) economic zones of foreign states, in the period from 5 November, 2007 till 24 March, 2008.
