Soon after longlining on Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) started in the Southern Ocean in the second half of the 1980’s, interactions of cetaceans with these fisheries became apparent. The two species primarily involved were orcas (killer whales) (Orcinus orca) and male sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). Both species took substantial number of fish from the line primarily Read More

At the 2004 meeting of the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM) in Siena, Italy, the UK reported on the by-catch of fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) in the krill fishery around South Georgia, and on mitigation methods that were being developed and deployed to avoid fur seal deaths in the fishery. WG-EMM requested that the UK provide further details of the methods Read More

Foraging zones used by incubating royal albatrosses (Diomedea epomophora) from the Otago Peninsula and their coincidence with fisheries activities were studied with global positioning system (GPS) loggers. Birds favoured areas around the shelf break of the eastern New Zealand continental mass, with hot spots of activity that coincided with fishing zones actively exploited by commercial trawl Read More

Feeding behaviour, ecological role in the marine food web and population trend of the Antarctic Shag Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis and the South Georgia Shag P. georgianus in Antarctica are analysed. The diving depths and duration registered in these shags are the deepest and longest among all flying birds in Antarctica and match deep dives performed by small Antarctic penguins. Shag Read More

A diet analysis of the Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides, trawled in the South Georgia Islands area in March–April 1996, was carried out by frequency of occurrence (F%) and coefficient ‘‘Q’’ (%) methods. The samples consisted chiefly of immature specimens, with predominant length ranges of 30–70 cm (TL). Fish was by far the main food on the shelves of Shag Rocks and South Georgia, Read More

A new method for estimating illegal fishing effort is put forward. The results from this new method are similar to those of the Agnew and Kirkwood (2005) method, and this suggests that the current method is adequate under circumstances of low evasion and when good knowledge exists that zero observations reflect zero illegal fishing. The new method performs better in the case of zero detections Read More

Information on methods aimed at mitigating incidental mortality resulting from fisheries interactions have been released in a variety of local, national and international media. Recent published reviews in the field of bycatch mitigation have typically had a species or fishing method focus. This report presents the results of the seabird component of a global review of mitigation methods aimed Read More
