1. Precision of growth band determination from eyestalk sections of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) preserved in formalin

   Abstract:  Age information for commercial fish species is crucial to fishery management. Age information for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) will be important for stock assessment modeling and future feedback management of krill fisheries. Samples stored in 70% ethanol provide an opportunity to

2. ESTIMATES OF NUMBERS OF KELP GULLS AND KERGUELEN AND ANTARCTIC TERNS BREEDING AT THE PRINCE EDWARD ISLANDS, 1996/97–2008/09

   Abstract:  Breeding numbers of Laridae and other surface-nesting seabirds have been monitored at subantarctic Marion Island since 1996/97 and counts of breeding birds were made at nearby Prince Edward Island in December 2001 and December 2008. Four species are regular breeders at the islands:

4. RECENT TRENDS IN NUMBERS OF CROZET SHAGS BREEDING AT THE PRINCE EDWARD ISLANDS

   Abstract:  Numbers of Crozet shags Phalacrocorax [atriceps] melanogenis breeding at Marion Island decreased by more than 70% from 840 pairs in 1994/95 to 220 pairs in 2003/04 and then increased to some 500 pairs in 2008/09. The trends are thought to have been influenced by breeding success, which

6. A TALE OF TWO ISLANDS: CONTRASTING FORTUNES FOR SUBANTARCTIC SKUAS AT THE PRINCE EDWARD ISLANDS

   Abstract:  Subantarctic skuas Catharacta antarctica are key predators of burrowing petrels at sub-Antarctic islands, and can be used to monitor the health of burrowing petrel populations. A survey of skuas at the Prince Edward Islands was conducted during December 2008, repeating a previous survey

7. SUMMER SURVEY OF FUR SEALS AT PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, SOUTHERN INDIAN OCEAN

   Abstract:  The onshore distributions and the abundances of Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella and Subantarctic fur seals A. tropicalis were determined at Prince Edward Island during 16–20 December 2008. This repeats a survey conducted in December 2001 and extends the area surveyed to include

8. Abundance and richness of key Antarctic seafloor fauna correlates with modelled food availability

   Abstract:  Most seafloor communities at depths below the photosynthesis zone rely on food that sinks through the water column. However, the nature and strength of this pelagic–benthic coupling and its influence on the structure and diversity of seafloor communities is unclear, especially around

9. RECRUITMENT AND BODY SIZE IN RELATION TO TEMPERATURE IN JUVENILE PATAGONIAN TOOTHFISH (DISSOSTICHUS ELEGINOIDES) AT SOUTH GEORGIA

   Abstract:  Recruitment variability in juvenile Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides), a commercially important, deepwater nototheniid fish, was examined at the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia, South Atlantic. Data from 13 demersal trawl surveys conducted over a 20-year period were

10. Adélie penguins foraging behaviour and krill abundance along the Wilkes and Adélie Land coasts, Antarctica

    Abstract:  The foraging behaviour of Adélie Penguins Pygoscelis adeliae was studied simultaneously at Shirley Island (SI) near Casey Station and at Petrel Island (PI) at Dumont D'Urville during the 1995/96 breeding season. The study took place in conjunction with a ship-based krill survey in
