1. To publish a review document summarising oceanic <strong>and</strong> environmental<br />
research information particularly relevant to hoki- but also other fisheries- that<br />
spawn off Westl<strong>and</strong> in winter<br />
2. Update the draft chapters prepared in 2004 by oceanographers- modellers<br />
<strong>and</strong> scientists towards the overall objective<br />
3. Incorporate a section on other west coast spawning fisheries<br />
1. Summarise <strong>and</strong> review existing information on ecological effects of finfish<br />
farming on the marine environment in New Zeal<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> overseas<br />
1. Estimate length <strong>and</strong> age at maturity for Antarctic toothfish in the Ross Sea<br />
2. Examine TOA length at age by depth <strong>and</strong> area<br />
3. Estimate biological parameters for TOA (M, growth rates corrected for<br />
selectivity, h, r)<br />
4. Determine stock structure of TOA based on parasite data<br />
5. Determine length-weight relationships, diet, reproduction, age <strong>and</strong> growth of<br />
C.dewitti<br />
6. ID <strong>and</strong> speciation of Antarctic skates<br />
7. Develop an ID guide for scientific Observers of fish in the Ross Sea fishery<br />
8. Identify heavy metal contents of selected fish species in the Ross Sea fishery<br />
1. Carry out stable isotope analysis of TOA <strong>and</strong> 3 key fish prey to determine<br />
trophic links<br />
2. Determine squid diet by analysis of squid beaks for stable isotope analysis<br />
3. Participate in the design of an IPY survey<br />
4. Participate in EMM as required<br />
1. To assess the utility/feasibility of using demographic information to assess the<br />
effects of<br />
fishing on seabird populations.<br />
2. To identify population indicators <strong>and</strong> to provide sampling protocols <strong>and</strong><br />
experimental<br />
design for selected high to medium priority seabird populations.<br />
3. To recommend experimental protocols for sampling of selected seabird<br />
populations in New Zeal<strong>and</strong><br />
influenced by fisheries mortality, employing robust-design methodology <strong>and</strong><br />
including<br />
recommendations for inclusions of data into Ministry of Fisheries databases.<br />
To examine the possible effects of climate on fishery yields <strong>and</strong> abundance<br />
indices for commercial fisheries around New Zeal<strong>and</strong><br />
