Sea ice is a major constraint of fishery performance in the Southern Ocean seasonal sea ice zone. We use sea ice concentration data from 2002-2017 that cover the wider Weddell Sea to establish statistical models of (i) accessibility, i.e. the probability that a particular area is navigable by fishery vessels at a given time, and of (ii) repeated accessibility, i.e. the probability that a Read More

The scientific survey was conducted by the Greenstar (KOR) in the research block 883_3–883_5. Due to extreme ice conditions covering the southern part of 88.3, the Janas (NZL) was not able to conduct its part of the survey. The total catch of D. mawsoni was 38,856 kg comprised of 1,380 individuals. The CPUE for Dissostichus mawsoni indicated regional differences among the Read More

Russian program provides proposals to study the species composition, biology, life cycle, distribution and structure of craboids stock (Anomura, Decapoda)  and  assess their resource potential in the Bellingshausen Sea (Subarea 88.3) and Amundsen Sea (Subarea 88.2).

Russian Federation is going to continue investigation for toothfish in Ross Sea. The previous Russian program was undertaken in the Subarea 88.2 in 2010-2012. This paper presents the   research program in the frame of the research and monitoring associated with the Ross Sea region marine protected area.

We propose to test three hypotheses to describe the reproductive ecology of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni):

1) Antarctic toothfish eggs are buoyant and accumulate under sea ice. If true, this would retain eggs near the spawning locations under the vast sea ice extent and once broken up in the spring, may provide access to a productive pagophilic ecosystem Read More

At its 2011 meeting, the Scientific Committee agreed that a time series of relative abundance from a well-designed survey would be a useful input into the Ross Sea stock assessment model. In this paper we provide results of the seventh annual survey in the time series.

Main two methods, which are used for the estimation of abundance/stocks of toothfish in the Antarctic marine areas, are the method based on tag recaptures and the method grounding on the CPUE data. But calculation of toothfish abundance with using these methods demands a number of assumptions, which sometimes broaden too much the possible values of the calculated parameters.
