1. Developing a Risk Assessment for Subarea 48.1 using tracking data

   Abstract:  CCAMLR has endorsed the use of the Risk Assessment framework to apportion the krill catch limits in order to minimise the risk of the fishery to krill dependent predators. We plan to apply the risk assessment framework across Subarea 48.1 at various spatial and temporal scales, in order

2. The Mapping Application for Penguin Populations and Projected Dynamics (MAPPPD) database: a tool for helping stakeholders monitor penguin population trends in Antarctica

   Abstract:  The Mapping Application for Penguin Populations and Projected Dynamics (MAPPPD) is a web-based, open access, decision support tool designed to assist scientists, non-governmental organizations, and policymakers working to meet the management objectives as set forth by The Commission for

3. Proposal for a krill biomass survey for krill monitoring and management in CCAMLR Division 58.4.2-East

   Abstract:  Australia plans to conduct a krill biomass survey in Division 58.4.2 East during 23 January to 25 March 2021. The survey will estimate krill biomass with a view to update the precautionary catch limit for krill. A krill observatory mooring system will also be deployed during the survey

4. Advances are urgently needed in providing regular estimates of krill stock status based on the available data

   Abstract:  CCAMLR currently manages the krill fishery in subareas 48.1 to 48.4 using an arbitrary measure (the trigger level) which was established in 1991 and is “not related to the status of the krill stock”. At the same time, CCAMLR recognises that “advances are urgently needed” specifically

5. Evidence of change to the environment, ecosystem and fishery within Area 48 indicates the need for continued precaution

   Abstract:  CCAMLR manages the krill fishery in Area 48 using a catch limit (the trigger level) which was established in 1991 based on the maximum catches reported for each subarea. Since that time the ecosystem has undergone rapid environmental change. Several studies suggest that krill numerical

6. Towards the development of Marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (mIBAs) for penguins in Antarctica – an update on progress

   Abstract:  Our study area encompasses all CCAMLR MPA Planning Domains contiguous to mainland Antarctica. We present the preliminary marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (mIBAS) for penguins. A total of 64 definitive sites were identified as IBAs We present a systematic overview of the

7. Reporting procedures for the continuous fishing method

   Abstract:  Commercial catch rates are important information for scientific evaluation of the krill resource and potential impacts of fishing on the ecosystem. Imprecise information confounds analysis and might undermine efficient and correct management actions. The following procedure now

8. Revisiting krill ageing method using eyestalk cuticles

   Abstract:  The development of a consistent and reproducible ageing method for krill is critical for improving the precautionary management of krill fisheries. The only method to date that has shown promise in the determination of the absolute age of krill is that of Kilada et al. (2017), which

9. Habitat use of type – C killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Ross Sea, Antarctica

   Abstract:  In Terra Nova Bay, western Ross Sea, during the austral summer 2015 ten type- C killer whales were equipped withSmart Position Only (SPOT) and depth-recording satellite transmitters (SPLASH). Hierarchical switching state-space models (hSSSM) were applied to Argos satellite tracking data

10. Long-term observations from Antarctica demonstrate that mismatched scales of fisheries management and predator–prey interaction lead to erroneous conclusions about precaution

    Abstract:  Low catch limits for forage species are often considered to be precautionary measures that can help conserve marine predators. Uncertainty about the impacts of fisheries removals on dependent predators bolsters this perspective, but consideration of the spatio-temporal scales over which
