1. Distribution patterns and biomasses of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and ice krill (E. crystallorophias) with note on distribution of Antarctic minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) in the Ross Sea in 2005

   Abstract:  Distribution patterns and biomasses of Antarctic and ice krill in the Ross Sea in austral summer in 2005 were studied using a multi-disciplinary survey data set combining cetacean, krill and oceanography data. Two research vessels, KM and KS2, conducted the hydroacoustic surveys

2. Community Structure of copepods in epipelagic layers in the Ross Sea and neighboring waters

   Abstract:  During the 9th research cruise of the R/V Kaiyo-maru, copepod samples were collected from three layers between the surface and 200 m with RMT 8m2 along the three longitudinal lines in the Ross Sea and its neighboring waters. Twenty three copepod species belonging to 13 families were

3. A risk management framework for avoiding significant adverse impacts of bottom fishing gear on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems

   Abstract:  CCAMLR adopted a new conservation measure in 2007 (CM 22-06) to ensure that significant adverse impacts of bottom fishing gear on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) are avoided. Due to the high levels of uncertainty surrounding both the evidence of VME presence and the consequences of

4. Notification of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems in Statistical Area 58.4.1

   Abstract:  Conservation Measure 22-06 was adopted to ensure that significant adverse impacts of bottom fishing gear on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) are avoided. In order to satisfy the requirements of CM 22-06 a method is proposed to notify CCAMLR of the presence of VMEs and their location

5. UPDATED KRILL RECRUITMENT DATA FOR THE ELEPHANT ISLAND REGION OF THE SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS, ANTARCTICA; 2002-2008

   Abstract:  The proportional krill recruitment index is updated from 2002 to present using data from the US AMLR surveys around Elephant Island, Antarctica. Proportional recruitment indices were derived from the CMIX procedure, and were also derived as a proportion of the <30 mm length class for

6. PROPOSED APPROACH FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF IMPORTANT MARINE AREAS FOR CONSERVATION: USING ‘MARXAN’ SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT SYSTEMATIC CONSERVATION PLANNING

   Abstract:  We provide a worked example of how a systematic conservation planning methodology (Margules & Pressey, 2000) might be used to identify important areas for conservation of biodiversity in the pelagic environment, using Subarea 48.2 (South Orkney Islands) as a pilot study area. The aim

7. Flexible foraging strategies of gentoo penguins help buffer the impacts of inter-annual changes in prey availability

   Abstract:  Gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua show considerable plasticity in their diet, diving and foraging behaviors among colonies; we expected that they might exhibit similar variability over time, at a single site, since flexible foraging habits would provide a buffer against changes in prey

8. DOWN-SCALING FOOSA TO MODEL THE ADMIRALTY BAY PYGOSCELID PENGUIN COLONIES: A WORK IN PROGRESS

   Abstract:  We apply Foosa at the scale of interactions among the 3 breeding penguin colonies, krill, and environmental variability at the long-term research site in Admiralty Bay, King George Island. This work-in-progress serves 2 purposes: 1) to use historical data to estimate parameters in a

9. PROPOSAL FOR A JOINT CEP/SC-CAMLR WORKSHOP IN 2009

   Abstract:  At its meeting in 2007 CCAMLR endorsed the proposal from the Scientific Committee for a joint CEP/SC-CAMLR workshop. The CEP discussed this at its meeting in June 2008 and suggested a theme of ‘Opportunities for collaboration and practical cooperation between the CEP and SC-CAMLR’. The

10. PROPERTIES OF KRILL DISTRIBUTION IN PELAGIC AND COASTAL SSMUs OF THE SOUTH ORKNEY ISLANDS SUBAREA ACCORDING TO THE DATA OF SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS AND FISHERY

    Abstract:  In this paper the krill spatial distribution in the in coastal and pelagic SSMUs of the Subarea 48.2 depending on oceanological factors is considered. Estimates of krill biomass and aggregation characteristics, and krill transport factors according to different modifications of Antarctic
