As we learn more about the importance of cetaceans in the Antarctic, including their populations' recovery and needs as krill and fish predators, it is increasingly clear that cetacean science is vital for informing ecosystem-based management.
This paper presents the results of a review of progress in the implementation of the recommendations identified in the Report of the Joint CEP/SC-CAMLR Workshop on Climate Change and Monitoring (2016). This review was undertaken during the 2021-22 intersessional period by Argentina, Australia…
Exploratory fishing for toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in East Antarctica (Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2) began in 2003. Robust stock assessments and catch limits according to CCAMLR decision rules remain to be determined for these Divisions.
Spanish and Australian scientists are working on the age and growth estimates of Antarctic toothfish within divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2 from 2015 and 2017 respectively. During 2019, Korean scientists have joined this colaborative work.
Exploratory fishing for toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in East Antarctica (Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2) began in 2003. Robust stock assessments and catch limits according to CCAMLR decision rules remain to be determined for these Divisions.
Robust stock assessments and catch limits for Dissostichus mawsoni according to CCAMLR decision rules remain to be determined for Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2, and precautionary management arrangements are in place as set out in Conservation Measures 41-11 and 41-05.
In this paper, we report on fish by-catch during exploratory fishing activities undertaken in Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2 during the period 2014 to 2020. Fish by-catch comprised 12 species or groups of species. In 2019 and 2020, exploratory fishing occurred exclusively in research block 58.4.
We present an update of ageing and estimates of biological parameters, and of the single-region integrated stock assessment for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) fishery in CCAMLR Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2. The update of ageing and estimates of biological parameters addresses Milestone 1.
Robust stock assessments and catch limits for Dissostichus mawsoni according to CCAMLR decision rules remain to be determined for Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2. Precautionary management arrangements are in place as set out in Conservation Measures 41-11 and 41-05. WG-FSA-16/29…
WG-FSA-19 recommended an update on stock parameters, including recruitment indices from the trawl survey…
During late March to mid-April 2020, the annual random stratified trawl survey (RSTS) around Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) was conducted in CCAMLR Division 58.5.2, with the completion of 151 stations. The survey was conducted on the FV Atlas Cove.
Exploratory fishing for toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in East Antarctica (Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2) began in 2003. Robust stock assessments and catch limits according to CCAMLR decision rules remain to be determined for these Divisions.
The annual random stratified trawl survey was undertaken in Division 58.5.2 in the vicinity of Heard Island and McDonald Islands during April 2020. Based on data from this survey, this paper provides an assessment of mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) population structure…
Abstract: This paper updates the SIOFA Scientific Committee on Australia's bottom fishing impact assessment for the SIOFA area.
Recommendations … (1) That this research plan with a revised sampling design within six existing research blocks in Division 58.4.1 and one existing research block in Division 58.4.2 be adopted. (2) If directed fishing was not allowed in Division 58.4.1 in 2021/22…
This paper provides an overview of the deployments of Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) loggers and Benthic Video Cameras (BVCs) to fishing gear in the Dissostichus mawsoni exploratory fishery in Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2 since 2015/16.
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…
The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD)1 is undertaking planning activities for a proposal to construct and operate a new aerodrome near Davis research station in the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica (the Davis Aerodrome Project). The Davis Aerodrome Project would involve the construction of a 2.
This Information Paper supplements Working Paper 43 by setting out draft criteria that might be applied to identified Important Bird Areas (IBAs) as well as to other bird colonies or aggregations1 when considering ASPA designation.
In accordance with Article 6.3 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, Australia has undertaken a five-yearly review of the management plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 103 Ardery Island and Odbert Island.
In accordance with Article 6.3 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, Australia has undertaken a five-yearly review of the management plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 102 Rookery Islands.
In accordance with Article 6.3 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, Australia has undertaken a five-yearly review of the management plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 167 Hawker Island.
In 2015 the ATCM endorsed a report listing 204 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) across Antarctica and offshore islands south of 60o South. In doing so the ATCM adopted Resolution 5 (2015)…
In accordance with Article 6.3 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, Australia has undertaken a five-yearly review of the management plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) 101 Taylor Rookery.
This paper summarises the outcomes of a quantitative analysis of the extent of Antarctic wilderness, recently published in Nature (Leihy et al., 2020). The researchers assembled an extensive database of ground-based human activity across the Antarctic continent and offshore islands…
