1. Demonstrating proof of concept of the application of systematic conservation planning at the circumpolar scale

   Abstract:  Systematic conservation planning is a recognised tool for advancing ongoing efforts to establish meaningful protection for the unique biodiversity of the Southern Ocean. With conservation planning already underway in a number of priority areas within the Southern Ocean, this report looks

2. Responding to climate change: Adélie penguins confront astronomical and ocean boundaries

   Abstract:  Long-distance migration enables many organisms to take advantage of lucrative breeding and feeding opportunities during summer at high latitudes and then to move to lower, more temperate latitudes for the remainder of the year. The latitudinal range of the Adélie penguin spans ~22o.

3. Spatial and seasonal distribution of adult Oithona similis in the Southern Ocean: predictions using boosted regression trees

   Abstract:  We applied a multivariate statistical modelling technique called boosted regression trees to derive relationships between environmental conditions and the distribution of the adult stage of the cyclopoid copepod Oithona similis in the Southern Ocean. Nearly 20 000 samples from the

5. Preliminary assessment of mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) in the vicinity of Heard Island and McDonald Islands (Division 58.5.2), based on a survey in March–April 2010, including a revised growth model

   Abstract:  A survey of mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, was undertaken in Division 58.5.2 in the vicinity of Heard Island in March-April 2010 to provide the information for an assessment of short-term annual yield in the 2010/2011 CCAMLR season. This paper provides a preliminary

6. How much do icefish (Notothenioidei, Channichthyidae) eat in the southern Scotia Arc and the Antarctic Peninsula region?

   Abstract:  Ration and daily food consumption in 3 low-Antarctic (Champsocephalus gunnari, Chaenocephalus aceratus, and Pseudochaenichthys georgianus), and 3 high-Antarctic (Chionodraco rastrospinosus, Cryodraco antarcticus, and Chaenodraco wilsoni) ice fish species were estimated around islands of

7. Stability of trip selections for the assessment of Antarctic toothfish in the Ross Sea

   Abstract:  A dataset for the 2009 assessment of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the Ross Sea was selected on the basis of data quality metrics for individual trips. Initial informative datasets were selected comprising trips with high (above median) rates of recovery of previously

8. Revised biological parameters for the Antarctic skates Amblyraja georgiana and Bathyraja cf. eatonii from theRoss Sea

   Abstract:  Revised weight-length and length-length regressions are provided for Amblyraja georgiana and Bathyraja cf. eatonii. Significant differences between males and females occurred for all comparisons except for B. cf. eatonii length-length regressions. Some observer maturity staging data were

9. Development of methods for evaluating the management of benthic impacts from longline fishing using spatially explicit production models, including model validation

   Abstract:  An important management objective for CCAMLR in the high seas region of the Antarctic is to develop appropriate methods of monitoring and managing impacts of bottom fisheries on vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs). We describe a spatially explicit production model that can be used to

10. Developing a Ross Sea region medium-term data collection plan

    Abstract:  Data are collected for use in scientific research, the results of which are used to inform management decisions made to achieve specific goals. Any data collection plan should be drawn from the goals the management wishes to achieve. The Scientific Committee has recommended the
