CPUES and body length of Antarctic krill during 1993/94 season in the fishing grounds around the South Shetland Islands

This paper summarizes Japanese krill catch data during austral summer in 1993/94 season. Main fishing grounds were persistently formed in the north of Livingston Island throughout the season, and the west of Elephant Island from April to May. CPUEs showed the highest values at the height of summer (early February - early March) in the north of Livingston Island, and April at the west of Elephant Island. Krill with a modal length of 41-45mm were dominant in catches, almost same as the previous season.
