5. Temporal variability in Adélie penguin CEMP parameters and their response to changes in prey availability

   Abstract:  We examined the within- and between- year fluctuations of four Adélie penguin population parameters which are thought to be sensitive to changes in prey availability: breeding success, foraging trip duration, meal mass and fledgling weights. Some years had either good breeding success

7. Potential VMEs around Elephant and the South Shetland Islands (Subarea 48.1)

   Abstract:  Bottom trawl sample data from two research cruises were used to identify potential VMEs in the South Shetland Islands area.  High biomass densities of VME indicator taxa, meeting the 10 kg/1200 m 2 threshold previously set (Lockhart & Jones, 2009), were detected for 5 stations around

8. Network characterisation of the food-web of the Ross Sea, Antarctica

   Abstract:  A balanced ecosystem model is used to explore the system-level characteristics of the food-web of the Ross Sea shelf and slope before the advent of commercial fishing for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the region. We evaluate: (1) biomass and flow of organic matter by

9. Preliminary plan for research and monitoring in the Ross Sea region, in association with spatial marine protection

   Abstract:  This document provides a preliminary version of a  research and monitoring plan to accompany a proposal to CCAMLR for the establishment of a system of MPAs in the Ross Sea region in 2012. The draft Conservation Measure which with this research and monitoring plan is associated includes
