    Abstract

    The stocks of Notothenia rossii marmorata and Champsocephalus gunnari in the South Georgia area are assessed using USSR age sample data and recent biomass estimates from surveys by the FRG. These data Indicate that the stock of N. rossii in 1985 was about 2.5% of its pre-exploitation biomass, while the stock of Champsocephalus gunnari has fluctuated greatly with no obvious trend.
