Commercial and Research Fish Catch database held by the Australian Antarctic Division

Dataset is primarily data collected by Fisheries Observers on Australian commercial fishing vessels targeting Patagonian Toothfish and Mackerel Icefish in the HIMI (Heard Island and McDonald Islands) and Macquarie Island fisheries. Further Data were collected on Aurora Australis research voyages in the Southern Ocean and during new and exploratory fisheries carried out in CCAMLR area 58.4.2. Data include shot position information, biological data on target and prominent bycatch species, length at age estimates for toothfish, catch size, catch composition, bird and marine mammal observations.


The data are held in an secure SQL database.

Maintenance and update frequency
As needed
Maintenance note
2009-04-02 - record updated by Dirk Welsford to add information about the updated dataset, and also to remove the links to the dataset on the AADC servers, and to point the record at the copy held on the fishing database servers. 2012-06-19 - record updated by Dave Connell to link back to the AADC copy, as the link for the fishing database servers does not work. The file isn't available outside the AAD. 2014-09-10 - record updated by Dave Connell. 2015-02-04 - record updated by Dave Connell to add Dirk Welsford. 2016-08-24 - record updated by Dave Connell to remove links to AADC copy of database (as it's very out of date), and refer to the copy maintained by Tim Lamb. 2019-04-01 - record updated by Dave Connell for ISO compliance.
