1. Development of a spatially-explicit minimum realistic model for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) and its main prey (Macrouridae and Channichthyidae) in the Ross Sea

   Abstract:  To explore the potential effects of the toothfish fishery on the population dynamics of Antarctic toothfish and its main prey, grenadiers (Macrouridae) and icefish (Channichthyidae), we develop a spatially explicit model using a predator-prey suitability model for the Ross Sea Region. We

2. Admiralty Bay (South Shetland Islands) as a model area for the long-term marine monitoring program – reasons and opportunities

   Abstract:  The objectives of this work are to demonstrate the unique character of Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetlands (Subarea 48.1) in terms of its location, hydrology and existing numerous scientific, data archives, to compare biological, chemical and geological data with other

3. Species variability and population structure of Euphausiacea in Admiralty Bay (King George Island; South Shetland Islands) during Antarctic summer

   Abstract:  The main component of zooplankton in Antarctic pelagic waters, apart from copepods or salps, are specimens representing euphausiids. In fjordic areas like Admiralty Bay, data concerning krill is still scarce and fragmentary, despite the fact that those organisms are a significant element

4. Variability of krill fishery operations in Subarea 48.2 in relation to fishing methods: spatial–temporal distribution of CPUE and of fishing efforts

   Abstract:  The author continue to analyze krill fishery data for understanding fishery operations in Subarea 48.2 with special attention to the period 2006-2011 which is characterized by the highest values of standardized CPUE indices in the Subarea 48.2 for the last 25 years. The paper provides

6. An assessment of the use of ocean gliders to undertake acoustic measurements of zooplankton: the distribution and density of Antarctic krill in the Weddell Sea

   Abstract:  A calibrated 120 kHz single-beam echo-sounder was integrated into an ocean glider and deployed in the Weddell Sea, Southern Ocean. The glider was deployed for two short periods in January 2012, in separate survey boxes on the continental shelf to the east of the Antarctic Peninsula, to

7. Short paper to CCAMLR on the ICED Southern Ocean food webs and scenarios workshop: ICED information paper for CCAMLR WG-EMM

   Abstract:  The ICED programme is investigating how climate change might impact Southern Ocean ecosystems in order to help inform management of Southern Ocean fisheries. As part of this ICED convened a workshop in November 2013 on “Southern Ocean food webs and scenarios of change”, and is currently

8. Developing high-resolution hydrodynamic models of the shelf regions around South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands

   Abstract:  Many of the key oceanographic and ecological processes that determine the structure and functioning of ecosystems in the regions around South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands operate over small scales of <10 km.  This paper reports the initiation of a project to develop high

9. Interannual variability in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) density at South Georgia, Southern Ocean: 1997 – 2013

   Abstract:  This paper, now in press in ICES Journal of Marine Science, presents krill density estimates for a 17 year time series of acoustic surveys of the Western Core Box at South Georgia.  Krill targets were identified in acoustic data using the approved CCAMLR protocol, that is using a multi

10. Recommendations from a cross-sector workshop on krill fishing and conservation in the Scotia Sea and Antarctic Peninsula region

    Abstract:  In June 2014, the ICED programme, the British Antarctic Survey and WWF co-hosted a two day workshop entitled “Understanding the objectives for krill fishing and conservation in the Scotia Sea and Antarctic Peninsula region” which involved participants from the science, conservation and
