The Secretariat received fishery notifications for research fisheries, exploratory fisheries for toothfish and krill fisheries for 2022/23 CCAMLR season. This paper provides a summary of all fishery notifications, with full details available to authenticated users through the CCAMLR website Fishery Notifications.

As requested by WG-FSA-2019, a reconciliation was undertaken for all available data between the Dissostichus spp. Catch Documentation Scheme (CDS) and monthly fine-scale catch and effort data. The analysis identified that at a season level, the reconciliations had a difference of less than 5%. Further, the majority of these seasonal differences were less than 1%, with a fishery-level Read More

Analysis of the frequency of fish by-catch in vessel and observer data from the krill fishery is updated based on recommendations from WG-FSA-2021. A preliminary approach to estimating by-catch rates (kg fish per tonne of krill) is introduced, and, spatial and temporal patterns of fish by-catch are presented. Feedback on the approach, outlier removal method and future work is requested.

This paper provides an update on issues identified in krill fishery data related to the reporting of by-catch data from Chilean and Ukrainian vessels, green weight estimation parameters reported from the Chilean vessel Betanzos and the Norwegian vessel Juvel, and the allocation of catch amounts to two-hourly trawl periods for continuous trawling vessels.

The grenadiers Macrourus caml and M. whitsoni form a significant bycatch component of fisheries for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the Southern Ocean. A lack of species-level biological and catch data has to date hindered the development of quantitative assessments for these deepwater species. This paper examines species- and sex-specific life histories of M. caml andM. whitsoni Read More

Removal of fish from gear by marine predators, known as depredation, is a fishery dependent mortality that needs to be included in stock assessments for affected stocks to avoid misestimation of the assessed resource. Toothed whales engage regularly in depredation from longlines, and while in some regions they leave clear marks of depredation activity, in the longline fisheries in the Southern Read More

Exploratory fishing for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in East Antarctica (Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2) began in 2003. While preliminary integrated stock assessments have been developed for these Divisions, robust estimates of stock biomass and precautionary catch limits according to CCAMLR decision rules remain to be determined.
