Résumé

A stratified bootstrap of icefish catch density based on the UK 2015 demersal fish survey catch rate data indicated a biomass of 59,081 tonnes (lower one sided 5^th percentile: 36,530 tonnes) within Statistical Subarea 48.3. Projections for the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons applying the CCAMLR harvest control rule lead to catch limits (TAC) of 3,461 tonnes for 2015/16 and 2,074 tonnes for 2016/17.
