4. A comparison of gear selectivity among three fishing gears for Antarctic krill with notes on the demographic patterns and productivity of Antarctic krill during summer 2014

   Abstract:  Three different trawls were used to sample Antarctic krill for the determination of demographic and abundance patterns around the South Shetland Islands during Austral summer 2014. A 60cm BONGO net (333 and 505 µm mesh), a 1.8m IKMT (505 µm mesh); and a pelagic ENGEL trawl (594m 2 mouth

5. Pleuragramma antarcticum distribution in the Ross Sea during late austral summer 2013

   Abstract:  Research during the last decade has revealed much about the early life history of Pleuragramm antarcticum, including confirmation of the first known nursery ground in Terra Nova Bay. However, there is still much unknown about larval fish distribution in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. During a

6. How similar are CEMP indices from adjacent locations? A case of study using Pygoscelis adeliae and P. papua monitoring data from three breeding colonies on King George Island

   Abstract:  What is the spatial scale of monitoring conducted at an individual CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) site? Answering this question is key to understanding how CEMP data could be used in a feedback management strategy and for identifying critical gaps in monitoring effort where

7. Apparent decrease of Weddell seal numbers in the western Ross Sea

   Abstract:  Ground counts during 1959-1968 compared with counts using high resolution satellite imagery during 2008-2012 indicated many fewer Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) at the two major molting haul outs in the western Ross Sea: Edisto Inlet- Moubray Bay, northern Victoria Land, and

8. Infectious diseases of Antarctic penguins: current status and future threats

   Abstract:  The Antarctic Treaty area will become increasingly frequented by both researchers and tourists in the future. Three main areas are likely to be impacted by this increase in use and by alterations due to climate change: the Western Antarctic Peninsula, the Ross Sea, and coastal regions of

10. Adélie penguin colony size predicts south polar skua abundance on Ross Island, Antarctica

    Abstract:  Top predators are useful ecological indicators of changes in marine prey stocks and other ecosystem drivers. In the Ross Sea region, most south polar skuas (Catharacta maccormicki) nest near Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colonies, feeding on fish, penguin eggs and chicks, and
