1. Abundance and trends of Type B killer whales (Orcinus orca) around the western Antarctic Peninsula

   Abstract:  The western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is warming rapidly and we need to understand the impact of these physical changes on the marine ecosystem. The WAP is surrounded by a complex marine food web involving a number of predator and prey populations, and empirical data on abundance and

2. Second progress report of the CEMP Special Fund overwinter penguin tracking project

   Abstract:  We provide a 2 nd update on the progress of our project “Tracking the overwinter habitat use of krill-dependent predators from Subarea 48.1”. The project was initiated with support from the CEMP Special Fund in 2015/16. Of 150 tags purchased in 2016, all have been deployed and the data

3. A review of the energetic density of zooplankton and nekton species of the Southern Ocean

   Abstract:  Understanding the energy flux through food webs is important for estimating the capacity of marine ecosystems to support stocks of living resources. This paper provides a summary of a review on currently available Southern Ocean energetic density data. This review is a result of the

4. Pygoscelis penguin colonies census in the Vernadsky Antarctic station area (Statistical Subarea 48.1)

   Abstract:  The Pygoscelis penguin colonies census in the Vernadsky Antarctic station area has been provided during 2017-2018 breeding season. The Pygoscelis penguins in the region of research are mainly gentoo penguin, which has formed 14 autonomous colonies with about 13320 of breeding pairs total

5. Adélie penguin diet: a pilot study directly comparing data from stomach flushing with faecal DNA analysis

   Abstract:  The diet composition of key species of penguin is currently monitored as part of the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP). Stomach lavage techniques are used in order to identify prey composition and mass. Analysing prey DNA in faeces may be a useful, less invasive, approach to

6. Update on software development for analysing nest camera images through the CEMP Special Fund

   Abstract:  We provide a brief update on the software developed for assessing nest camera images through the CEMP Special Fund project ‘Developing an image processing software tool for analysis of camera network monitoring data’. This CEMP Special Fund project was initiated in 2015/16 to refine

7. Considerations for CEMP data collection and submission in relation to using nest cameras to monitor surface-nesting colonial seabirds

   Abstract:  We provide an outline of data that can be generated from nest camera images and describe how they relate to the parameters outlined in the CEMP Standard Methods. We discuss where the two are similar, provide comment on nest camera data utility for CEMP, and outline gaps in our assessment

8. CEMP cameras data validation experiment at the Galindez Island gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) colonies

   Abstract:  We inform on the results of data validation experiment provided for pictures from time lapse cameras of the CEMP camera monitoring project of CCAMLR at Galindez Island gentoo colonies. During the 2017-2018 season biologists winterers at Vernadsky station, situated at Galindez Island,

9. Next steps in development of Marine Protected Area in the Argentine Islands Archipelago water area

   Abstract:  The results of the research aimed at further substantiation and development of the Marine Protected Area in the area of the Ukrainian Antarctic Station Academician Vernadsky are presented. In order to study the structure and biodiversity of benthic communities in the water area of the

10. Approaches to data collection and analysis for detecting and quantifying functional overlap at the scale of the individual vessell

    Abstract:  Summary Over the past years, the subject of whether there is a functional overlap between the krill fishery and pelagic krill predators has been discussed throughout the SC-CAMLR Working Groups. Specifically, these discussions centre around two key issues: a) whether there are potential
