Monitoring of major by-catch species in the Heard Island and McDonald Islands fisheries
Conservation of biodiversity and the sustainableuse of living marine resources have been central managementgoals at Heard Island and McDonald Islands(HIMI) since Australian-managed commercial trawl,and later longline, fisheries for Patagonian toothfish( Dissostichus eleginoides ) and a commercial tr...
