1. An experimental approach for the Antarctic krill fishery: advancing management and conservation through the use of Krill Reference Areas and Krill Fishing Areas

   Abstract:  We review reasons why the fishery for Antarctic krill is challenging to manage and consider ways in which management could be improved, whilst responsible and precautionary harvesting continues. We propose an experimental framework to help improve the scientific basis for management.

2. Developing the risk assessment framework for the Antarctic krill fishery in Area 48

   Abstract:  Recognising that CM 51-07 is scheduled to lapse at the end of the 2020/2021 fishing season, we outline a plan of work to engage with the CCAMLR community to move towards refining the krill risk assessment framework. WG-EMM has previously offered advice about how the risk assessment might

3. The vision for a Southern Ocean Observing System

   Abstract:  The Southern Ocean is fundamentally important to the Earth system, influencing global climate, biogeochemical and ecological cycles. Limited observations suggest the Southern Ocean is changing, yet chronic under-sampling makes the causes and consequences of such changes difficult to

4. The preliminary report on the survey in Subarea 48.2 in 2018 (the fourth year of the planned 5-year-old investigations)

   Abstract:  The fourth year survey and observations of Dissostichus spp. in statistical subarea 48.2 on board the Ukrainian vessel SIMEIZ were conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Scientific Committee and Commission. The fourth year survey design was slightly amended in comparison

5. Information report on the age determination methods of toothfish Dissostichus spp.

   Abstract:  The document presents the experience of the age determination of toothfish of the genus Dissostichus by recording structures (otoliths). Sampling processing is carried out on the basis of annual data collected in the CCAMLR Convention Area. The equipment used, the procedure for

6. Annual report of research fishing operations at Division 58.4.4b in 2016/17 fishing season

   Abstract:  This paper represents the annual report of a multi-member longline survey on Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) at Division 58.4.4b in 2016/17 fishing season by France and Japan. The data set, C2 and Observer data, was provided by the CCAMLR Secretariat on the 20th April

7. Annual report of research fishing operations at Subarea 48.6 in 2016/17 fishing season

   Abstract:  This paper represents the annual report of a multi-member longline survey on Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) at Statistical Subarea 48.6 for 2016/17 fishing season by Japan and South Africa. The data set, C2 and Oｂserver data, was provided by the CCAMLR Secretariat on the 20th

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. Modelling Movement of Antarctic Krill (MMAK): the importance of retention, dispersal and behaviour for krill distribution – a project update

   Abstract:  This paper provides an update on the joint UK-Norway MMAK project, funded by the Antarctic Wildlife Research Fund, to improve current understanding of the regional and local-scale processes that influence the distribution of Antarctic krill in CCAMLR Area 48, focussing in particular on

10. Coastal weather drives foraging behaviour of chinstrap penguins, Pygoscelis antarctica

    Abstract:  There is increasing interest in using higher-trophic level predators as ecosystem indicators because their performance is presumed to be linked to the overall function of the ecosystem that supports them. In the southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, Antarctic krill (Euphausia
