Maximum catches, equalling 15.9 thous tonnes. were, attained in the 1992/1993 season. The report presents an analysis of Polish krill catches in the 1991/1992 and 1992/1993 seasons. CPUEs by month in individual subareas of the Atlantic sector of the Antarctic were calculated. The results of biological investigations of krill on the fishing grounds of the South Orkney and South Georgia subareas are also given.
