1. DISTRIBUTION OF KRILL AT THRESHOLD DENSITIES SUITABLE FOR FISHING IN THE ATLANTIC SECTOR: ANALYSIS OF THE 2000 SYNOPTIC SURVEY DATA

   Abstract:  1. We used the CCAMLR 2000 synoptic survey acoustic dataset to compare pelagic and shelf SSMUs in terms of the frequency of 1nm integration units with krill densities above and below a range of threshold values. 2. In general pelagic SSMUs had markedly lower frequencies of fishable

2. A RE-APPRAISAL OF THE TOTAL BIOMASS AND ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF ANTARCTIC KRILL

   Abstract:  Despite much research on Euphausia superba, estimates of their total biomass and production are still very uncertain. Recently, circumpolar krill databases, combined with growth models and revisions in acoustics have made it possible to refine previous estimates. Net-based databases of

4. CALIBRATION ERROR IN THE AMLR PLANKTON TIME SERIES

   Abstract:  Analysis of the time series of the volume of water filtered during tows using a 1.8 m Isaac-Kidd Midwater Trawl (IKMT) from 1992 to 2007 showed a marked decline (~35%) in the volume of water filtered beginning in 2000. Analysis of tow time duration, reported ship speed during tows, and

5. Trophic study of Ross Sea Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes

   Abstract:  This report amalgamates stable isotope analyses of fish (n=476), squid (n=50) and octopod (n=17) samples obtained from long-line fishing vessels from four CCAMLR SSRUs (88.1C, 88.1H, 88.1I and 88.1J) during two fishing seasons 2005/6 and 2006/7. The species sampled were: 6 fish:

6. LETTER TO DRS REID, WATTERS AND JONES IN REGARD TO “DISAPPEARANCE OF TOOTHFISH FROM MCMURDO SOUND”

   Abstract:  We the undersigned wish to bring to your attention a potentially grave situation that needs to be addressed without significant delay. Together we have worked in the Ross Sea and vicinity for more than 300 person-years, and in the process have gained considerable knowledge about the Ross

10. ADDRESSING UNCERTAINTY OVER THE IMPORTANCE OF ANTARCTIC TOOTHFISH AS PREY OF SEALS AND WHALES IN THE SOUTHERN ROSS SEA: A REVIEW

    Abstract:  An uncertainty heretofore has existed over the importance of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) as prey of top predators in the Ross Sea. We reviewed the literature to assess the relative weight that should be given to direct, observational evidence of predator diet composition,
