Developments in the CCAMLR otolith program

The Secretariat contacted 14 Members in January 2011 providing them with a table listing the

number of otoliths collected on each trip by a vessel flagged to that Member and the observer

responsible for collecting the otoliths on that trip. Members were asked to provide information

on the storage location and number of otoliths aged. Responses were received from 9

Members and no amendments were made to the numbers of otoliths collected. Currently 1405

otoliths that were received from the UK are stored at the Secretariat.
