Assessing indicators for feedback monitoring and management of the krill fishery: data and methods for assessing predator productivity as an indicator
Abstract: One indicator that has been proposed for use in a feedback management system for the krill fishery is an estimate of predator productivity attributable to consumption of harvested species. We illustrate some of the data and methods that could be used for measuring and evaluating this

A customised Marine Spatial Planning tool in Arc-GIS to facilitate development and evaluation of Marine Protected Area scenarios in the CCAMLR Area
Abstract: We describe the use of a GIS-based Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) tool designed to aid the development and transparent evaluation of MPA scenarios with reference to spatially explicit protection objectives and cost layers representing rational use in a systematic conservation planning

Abundance and reproductive distribution of Pygoscelids sp. in the northern area of Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula
Abstract: Studies related to the abundance and reproductive distribution of marine birds have the potential to act as ecological indicators. The western Antarctic Peninsula is one of the three sites in the world with some of the clearest signals of climate warming. The aim of this study was to

An initial analysis of data provided from the deployment of scientific observers in the krill fishery
Abstract: An analysis of the observer data provided from the krill fishery was undertaken using a range of complementary methods of data quality control and variance investigation. A sample pooling approach analysis on the other hand revealed the distribution of variance in krill length at

Outline proposal for geographic information services for CCAMLR
Abstract: This document outlines a proposal from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) to provide a Geographical Information System (GIS) for CCAMLR. The proposal offers a web-based GIS that will provide state-of-the-art capacity for managing spatial data for CCAMLR, particularly the types of

Krill stock evaluation with data from commercial fishing vessels
Abstract: Commercial krill fishing vessels can provide useful data for science and management. The use of such vessels as platforms for survey transects under scientific supervision has already been demonstrated. Here we show that acoustic data of good quality can be collected by observers on

CCAMLR ecosystem monitoring and management: future work
Abstract: Harvesting of marine living resources in the Southern Ocean is managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). CCAMLR is widely known for its ecosystem-approach to managing fisheries with the maintenance of ecological relationships included

The ecosystem approach to managing fisheries: achieving conservation objectives for predators of fished species
Abstract: Managing fisheries to achieve ecosystem objectives is in its infancy. A general approach for maintaining ecological relationships and providing for the recovery of depleted populations in food webs supporting fisheries is proposed. This paper addresses the following general questions for
