WG-FSA-90

Whole otoliths and scales were used for a simultaneous age determination of juvenile Notothenia rossii marmorata specimens collected at Potter Cove, King George/25 de Mayo Island, South Shetland Islands. Results from the analysis of both structures agreed in 95.5%. Likewise, the examination of otolith cross sections of chosen specimens confirmed in all the cases the age readings obtained from Read More

The use of allozymes as a tool in stock structure analysis was examined in the commercially-exploited mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, together with a preliminary assessment of stock separation among samples in South Georgia waters.
Four samples (116 individuals) of icefish were collected from South Georgia waters, incorporating Shag Rocks, during January 1990, and subjected to Read More

A declining trend observed in the abundance of fjord fish of the species Notothenia rossii marmorata and Notothenia gibberifrons from two localities of South Shetland Islands, is analyzed by a nested ANOVA and demonstrated as significant. The material studied was obtained with trammel nets at Potter Cove, King George/25 de Mayo I., from 1983 to 1990 and in waters around Half-Moon I., Moon Bay Read More

In the summer-autumn period E. carlsbergi fed mainly on copepods. Daily food intake measured using various methods ranged from 3.7 to 5.6 % of fish body weight. The amount of food consumed by E. carlsbergi during the year in the southern regions of the Antarctic Convergence is about 15 times its own weight.

Acoustic surveys carried out in summer and autumn periods of 1987-1989 estimated the biomass of myctophids in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean over the region between 48° and 56°S and from 8° to 48W at about 1.7 mill.t. Over the larger part of the surveyed area the fish were sparse, their dense concentrations composed predominantly of one myctophid species Electrona carlsbergi Read More

A subject of the present study is Electrona carlsbergi from the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean. Results from histological examination of gonads are presented. From materials available it has been ascertained that Electrona carlsbergi breeds in the notal zone. The ripening of females begins at body length of 76-78 mm. Vitellogenesis is asynchronous. Vitelline eggs have a diameter from Read More

Some biological peculiarities of E. carlsbergi from the Antarctic and notal areas of the Southern Ocean Atlantic sector have been studied on the basis of the data for 1987-1989. Mean length of fish from the Antarctic area increased while drifting eastward in the Antarctic circumpolar current waters. Fish specimens from 62 to 97 mm long were registered in catches. About 95% of specimens Read More

This paper discusses the impact bottom trawling may have on Antarctic benthos. This problem has not been dealt with neither by the Antarctic Treaty System nor by CCAMLR so far.

An outline is provided on data and analyses which would be required to improve the knowledge of the stocks and improve the Scientific Committee’s ability to provide less controversial management advoice. However, a level of uncertainty higher than in fish stock assessment in other parts of the World Ocean (e.g. the North Atlantic) has to be accepted and to be taken into account for fisheries Read More

According to the results of the registered trawling surveys carried out during the joint Soviet-French expeditions (1987-1988), more precise evaluations of the main commercial species biomass in the Kerguelen Islands area are given below. When evaluating the fish stocks, a special attention has been paid to the registration of hurricane samples zones and to the construction of their content Read More
