    Résumé

    In 2017, a bottom trawl survey (PoKer 4) was undertaken at Kerguelen Islands (Division 58.5.1) to collect information about the size distribution and the biomass status of mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari. Data from this random stratified trawl survey was used for a short term assessment of C. gunnari on Kerguelen EEZ. The standard CCAMLR methods were used to provide potential yields, a catch limit of 3081 t is recommended for 2017/2018 and 2753 t for 2018/2019.
