Table 8.24, Age and Size at Sexual Maturity for Antarctic Pieh. 



This is inferred since the authors state that only sexually mature fish were caught. 



In this paper mention is made only of mature fish; the size quoted is of the smallest 

 specimen. By comparison with my own unpublished observations at Signy Island this would 

 approximate to the size at sexual maturity. 



All the fish were sexually mature end aged 9 or more.

Catch rates of Chajnpsocephalus gunnari at South Georgia clearly indicate that this 

 species moves inshore to Biwwn. Olsen (1955) failed to catch any for several months during 

 the summer but then obtained some good hauls towards the end of March. This pattern of occ- 

 urrence hae been confirmed in recent years by members of British Antarctic Survey fishing in 

 Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. A similar migration has been described for Channiohthys 

 rhinoceratuB by Hureau (I966) although for this species the shoreward movement begins in 

 February.
