# CCAMLR Science publishes three papers on seabird bycatch mitigation

  *CCAMLR Science* (ISSN 1023-4063) is the annual peer-reviewed Journal of the Scientific Committee and the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources ([www.ccamlr.org](http://www.ccamlr.org/)).

  Volume 15 for 2008 contains three papers that discuss the efficacy of mitigation devices to reduce the mortality of seabirds by longline fisheries.

  The three papers are:

  Moreno, C.A., Castro, R., Mújica, L.J. & Reyes, P. 2008.  Significant conservation benefits obtained from the use of a new fishing gear in the Chilean Patagonian Toothfish fishery. *CCAMLR Science* 15: 79-91.

  Robertson, G., Moreno, C.A., Gutiérrez, E., Candy, S.G., Melvin, E.F. & Seco Pon, J.P. 2008.  Line weights of constant mass (and sink rates) for Spanish-system Patagonian Toothfish longline vessels.  *CCAMLR Science* 15: 93-106.

  Robertson, G., Williamson, J., McNeill, M., Candy, S.G. & Smith, N. 2008.  Autoliners and seabird by-catch: do line setters increase the sink rate of integrated weight longlines?  *CCAMLR Science* 15: 107-114.

  Copies of *CCAMLR Science* are available from the CCAMLR Secretariat at CCAMLR, PO Box 213, North Hobart 7002, Tasmania, Australia, or by e-mailing [ccamlr.science@ccamlr.org](mailto:ccamlr.science@ccamlr.org).
