Another Zealand-led survey of younger toothfish in Antarctica provides receive high densities of the highly-prized fish in the south Ross water.
Aquatic experts Dr Stuart Hanchet, from NIWA, and Dr Hyun-Su Jo, from Korea, lately complete 1st research of young Antarctic toothfish.
Dr Hanchet states the effective review will be the first-in a set which will monitor quantities of young Antarctic toothfish for the Ross Sea area.
He says, “to keep track of seafood abundance precisely, it is important that the surveys be carried out in a managed and demanding ways. For instance, this implies using the same fishing products and also the same bait, concurrently and area on a yearly basis. It’s also crucial that the research try carefully developed such that it samples an important area where target population is available.
Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) are located at depths down seriously to 2000 yards. Seafood adult at a length of 120-130 cm, and the majority of people live to an average age of 20 to 24 ages.
“we are checking out both numbers and measurements of seafood which happen to be between five and 10 years outdated much less than 100 cm in length”, states Dr Hanchet. “We currently collect good information to keep track of the wealth of xxx toothfish, but we do not have the same quality of facts for younger seafood.
