    Notes: A method of compensating for the presence of discrete overburden velocity anomalies during depth conversion of time horizons interpreted on conventional, post-stack time-migrated seismic data is presented. Positive and negative time delays are estimated either from the push-down or pull-up of reflectors directly beneath the anomalies or from interpreted time thickness of the anomalous body and interval velocities estimated from well data. The critical steps are pre-stack simulation of seismic acquisition across the velocity anomalies, incorporating the effects of a Fresnel volume which changes its width as a function of depth, and simulation of common-midpoint (CMP) stacking using a linear regression of time delay, Δt, versus offset-squared, X2. The time-correction method predicts the time distortion for any target horizon and the distortion is removed as a correction in time. Depth conversion is then performed using a background velocity function. The final average velocity map is calculated from the resulting depth structure and the raw times at the target horizon. The method is implemented by manipulating time grids within an industry-standard mapping package. The final average velocity map shows steep lateral velocity gradients which are constrained by the interpreted boundaries of the velocity anomalies.

    Notes: The reproductive biology of roundnose grenadier Coryphaenoides rupestris was investigated against a background of increasing commercial exploitation. Samples were taken from surveys carried out in Rockall Trough between 1993 and 1995. An eight-point maturity scale was developed based on both visual inspection of the ovaries and histological screening. The various stages of development of roundnose grenadier oocytes were described and the relative proportion of oocyte types and their respective size range in each maturity stage were investigated. The dynamic organization of the ovary indicated a determinate maturation cycle in this species. Population spawning appears to be prolonged, extending from July to at least November. However, data were insufficient to clarify individual spawning duration. The potential fecundity of 29 mature fish ranged from 11 083-55 175 (63-95 cm total length). The results were very similar to previous values from the North Atlantic. The reproductive strategy of the roundnose grenadier is discussed in the light of the current commercial exploitation of the Species.

    Notes: Comparative bottom trawl and longline surveys were carried out on two chartered commercial fishing vessels in the deep waters (350-1300 m) of the Rockall Trough, an area subjected to heavy commercial exploitation. The species composition, catch rates and length distributions from each survey were very different and reflected the fundamental difference in the two types of fishing operations. Bottom-trawled catches produced greater species diversity and higher discard rates. Longline catches produced larger specimens of teleost fish and were dominated by squalid shark. Trawl discards, expressed as kgs of discards per tonne of roundnose grenadier Coryphaenoides rupestris landed, were calculated for a broad range of the most abundant species taken in the catch. First estimates of total international discarding from deep-water trawling operations in the Rockall Trough area (7530 tonnes; 26.5 million individuals) were made by raising the discard rates using international grenadier landings for 1995. The outlook for the continued exploitation of the deep-water fish resource in the Rockall Trough and possible management options are discussed.

    Notes: This paper summarizes the history of commercial exploitation of roundnose grenadier Coryphaenoides rupestris in the North Atlantic. Length frequencies of C. rupestris in 1993, from 400 to 1200 m on the slopes of the Rockall trough indicate a reduction since the 1970s in the modal length of fish found at 700–1000 m. Ages ranged from 2 to 50 years for males and 2 to 60 years for females, with most between 10–38 years. Females attained a greater asymptotic pre-anus length (L∞=19.5 cm) than males (L∞=15.5 cm) and had a greater weight for a given age (male W∞=761g, female W∞=1132g). This species may have a protracted spawning period. Using pre-anus lengths, 50% of male fish were mature at 10 cm (ages 8–10) while 50% of female fish were mature at 12 cm (ages 9–11). At the greatest depths sampled the length frequency of fish was bimodal with a hiatus between 9 and 11 cm (ages 8–12). Highest catch rates occurred on the Donegal slope in September at a depth of 800–1000 m.

    Notes: A survey of the studies published in two leading fisheries journals revealed that the analysis and measurement of condition, based on length-weight data, has been performed using a wide variety of indices and statistical procedures. Eight forms of index were identified which can be categorized into those which measure the condition of individual fish, i.e. condition factors‘, and those which measure the condition of subpopulations as a whole, i.e. regressions of log, 10 weight on log, 10 length and the parameters of such regressions. Analysis of a test data set indicated that both the form of index and properties of the data set size can dictate the patterns of condition observed. The various indices were reviewed in terms of appropriateness, simplicity and statistical correctness. It was concluded that an index should be selected only after a detailed examination of both the underlying assumptions of the index and the properties of the data set.

    Notes: Dorsal spine sections of the deepwater squalid shark Centrophorus squamosus provided age estimates of 21–70 years. Small specimens were not recorded in the study area. It was not possible to obtain estimates from vertebral centra. The estimates are discussed in the context of other studies using dorsal spines of squalid sharks. Sexual maturity was achieved at large size, 〉75% of maximum length. Total length at 50% maturity was calculated as 101 cm (males) and 128 cm (females).

    Notes: The behaviour of edge cracks under Mode I loading in the WC–Co material system is studied using the finite element method (FEM). This work focuses on ductile failure mechanisms in the Co binder. A micromechanical approach is taken whereby Co layers are modelled explicitly. An embedding technique is employed. Crystal plasticity theory and J2 flow theory are used to represent plastic deformation in Co ligaments. Areas of high hydrostatic stress, triaxiality and accumulated slip or effective plastic strain are identified within the binder material. The Gurson model is used to model crack growth in the Co ligaments. Fracture resistance curves are obtained giving a relationship between macroscopic material behaviour and microscopic failure mechanisms. Factors effecting the crack growth in single and multiple ligaments are identified.
