Modelling growth and reproduction of Antarctic krill: implications of spatial and temporal trends in temperature and food for ecosystem-based management of krill fisheries
Abstract: Errors in the growth model used in stock assessments of Antarctic krill, specifically higher rates of growth than occur in reality, could inadvertantly lead to over-exploitation of the krill population and cause impacts on krill predators. We review the three classes of models available

Towards developing a feedback management procedure for the Antarctic krill fishery
Abstract: We present a feedback strategy, founded on CEMP data, to adjust the catch limit and the spatial distribution of fishing activity for Antarctic krill in Statistical Area 48. The CEMP currently provides decades-long baseline time series and useful contrasts across areas and species that

Method for collecting of data on traumatic death of krill passed through the trawl meshes
Abstract: Fishing for krill Euphasia superba Dana has been conducting using midwater trawls of different constructions including beam-trawl for several last decades. Not all krill in harvesting zone of midwater trawl got to catch during trawling. Depending on stock structure, size and

Research and monitoring to support an MPA in the Ross Sea Region
Abstract: Conservation Measure 91-04 establishes the requirement for research and monitoring plans to support marine protected areas (MPAs). Although CM 91-04 provides general guidance that such research and monitoring plans shall, to the extent necessary and inter alia, specify “(a) scientific

Proposal for a SCOR Working Group to identify Ecosystem Essential Ocean Variables for measuring change in the biological properties of marine ecosystems
Abstract: A proposal for a SCOR “Working Group to identify Ecosystem Essential Ocean Variables for measuring change in the biological properties of marine ecosystems” was developed by members of the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) Science Steering Committee in conjuction with discussions

A proposal for compiling information, assessments and science that underpin established CCAMLR Marine Protected Areas and provide the basis for ongoing management, science and review: an MPA Report
Abstract: The General Framework for the Establishment of CCAMLR Marine Protected Areas in Conservation Measure 91-04 provides the necessary guidance to the Commission for formulating a conservation measure for a CCAMLR Marine Protected Area and indicates a number of elements where advice may be

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

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
