1. Shipboard line transect surveys of crabeater seal abundance in the pack-ice off East Antarctica: evaluation of assumptions

   Abstract:  The extent to which the assumptions underlying line transect sampling are satisfied in shipboard surveys of crabeater seals hauled-out on the Antarctic pack-ice is examined. Crabeater seals showed little movement in response to the approaching ship. Movement away from the ship by seals

2. Scientific observations in CCAMLR fisheries – past, present and future

   Abstract:  The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has the primary competency for managing fishing south of the Antarctic Polar Front. Despite a relatively long history of scientific research and fisheries, CCAMLR’s fisheries management strategy has often

3. Revised selectivities for Dissostichus eleginoides taken by longliners in Subarea 48.3

   Abstract:  Kirkwood and Agnew (2001, paper WG-FSA-01/48) proposed an ad hoc method for estimating selectivity curves for toothfish taken by longliners around South Georgia and Shag Rocks over the period 1995 – 1999. This method was applied by WG-FSA-01, with minor amendments, to estimate annual age

8. On the problem of diurnal migrations of some fish species on the South Georgia shelf (Subarea 48.3)

   Abstract:  The results of experiments on the South Georgia Shelf carried out in the period of 1986 to 1990 have been presented. Six (6) daily stations were occupied where vertical distribution of fry and young individuals (including adult specimens) of Champsocephalus gunnari, Champsocephalus

9. 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

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
