An underwater acoustic recorder was moored off Heard Island from September 2017 through March 2018 to listen for marine mammals. Analysis of data was initially conducted by visual inspection of long-term spectral averages to reveal sounds from sperm whales, Antarctic and pygmy blue whales…
Heard Island and McDonald Islands (HIMI) are an external Territory of Australia, located approximately 4000 kilometres southwest of Australia in the southern Indian Ocean.
The grey rockcod, Lepidonotothen squamifrons is an important prey species for seals, penguins and Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) in the Southern Ocean. Across the Kerguelen Plateau, the species was fished to commercial extinction (ca. 152 000 tonnes between 1971 and 1978)…
Here, we present the Grym package (Wotherspoon and Maschette, 2020). Designed to work within R (R Core Team, 2020), the Grym was built with the aim to provide a toolbox of functions that replicate the existing core functionality of the GYM software (compiled version 501E; Constable, 2004).
Antarctic krill are a fundamental component of Southern Ocean ecosystems and perturbations to krill populations have ramifications for the entire ecosystem. Krill are fished across the Southern Ocean and sustainable management of this fishery is a high priority for the Australian Government.
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…
Fisheries are human activities that alter resource availability for species in marine ecosystems. While fisheries remove fish biomass, they may also provide new feeding opportunities to various marine predators. These species, depredating on catches directly on the fishing gear…
At WG-SAM-2019, it was highlighted that some of the language in the table used to assess research plans in data-poor fisheries was ambiguous, in particular to delegates that do not have English as their first language. In this paper…
To manage a fishery effectively, it is crucial to understand the spatial stock structure of the target species, and how fishing mortality is distributed across the stock. This study investigates the genetic stock structure of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni)…
Publication: 2019. Final Report, FRDC Project 2017/021. Australian Antarctic Division and the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation. Kingston, Australia. ISBN 978-1-876934-33-0. For this study, Antarctic toothfish samples were collected from CCAMLR Subareas 48.2, 48.4, 48.6, 88.1, 88.
The annual random stratified trawl survey was undertaken in Division 58.5.2 in the vicinity of Heard Island and McDonald Islands during April 2019. Based on data from this survey, this paper provides a preliminary assessment for 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.
This paper draws attention to the publication in the scientific journal Nature of the results of the Retrospective Analysis of Antarctic Tracking Data (RAATD), a project of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)…
