520 3# ‡aPresents biological data from 303 specimens of Channichthyidae collected during 2005-06 Ross Sea toothfish fishing season. All specimens were identified as Chionobathyscus dewitti and showed no significant difference in sex ratio, and meristic, diet and age data were consistent with previous research. Gonad maturity stage data showed that most fish were either immature or resting (mature). Gonadosomatic indices (GSIs) plotted against sample month showed weak positive trend in GSI between December and February, though this was limited, probably due to short temporal distribution of data. Length-at-maturity and age-at-maturity ogives indicated that 50% of fish sampled were mature at about 340-360 mm total length (TL) and about 3-4 years of age, and that 95% were mature at about 370-400 mm TL and 6-8 years of age. Counts of growth zones in sectioned otoliths were used to determine ages and von Bertalanffy growth parameters. Growth was rapid for both sexes, and females approached significantly larger mean asymptotic maximum size than males. Maximum ages of 8 and 11 years were obtained for male and female fish respectively. Diet analysis showed most icefish stomachs were empty, with few prey items recovered generally in advanced stages of digestion, though this may be due to regurgitation of prey during capture.
