1. Reporting procedures for the continuous fishing method

   Abstract:  Commercial catch rates are important information for scientific evaluation of the krill resource and potential impacts of fishing on the ecosystem. Imprecise information confounds analysis and might undermine efficient and correct management actions. The following procedure now

2. Revisiting krill ageing method using eyestalk cuticles

   Abstract:  The development of a consistent and reproducible ageing method for krill is critical for improving the precautionary management of krill fisheries. The only method to date that has shown promise in the determination of the absolute age of krill is that of Kilada et al. (2017), which

3. Habitat use of type – C killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Ross Sea, Antarctica

   Abstract:  In Terra Nova Bay, western Ross Sea, during the austral summer 2015 ten type- C killer whales were equipped withSmart Position Only (SPOT) and depth-recording satellite transmitters (SPLASH). Hierarchical switching state-space models (hSSSM) were applied to Argos satellite tracking data

4. Long-term observations from Antarctica demonstrate that mismatched scales of fisheries management and predator–prey interaction lead to erroneous conclusions about precaution

   Abstract:  Low catch limits for forage species are often considered to be precautionary measures that can help conserve marine predators. Uncertainty about the impacts of fisheries removals on dependent predators bolsters this perspective, but consideration of the spatio-temporal scales over which

5. Exploring trends of the krill fishery indicators among the NWAP D1MPA zones in the Subarea 48.1

   Abstract:  Domain 1 marine protected area (D1MPA) proposal has been developed sin 2012 and now has been intensively discussed. Its implementation will establish a new scenario for the current krill fishing fleet dynamic, therefore it is necessary to understand what represent each D1MPA zones for

6. Detection of predator dive patterns from stationary echosounder data

   Abstract:  Standard protocols for processing of echosounder data are geared towards the estimation of biomass indices of pelagic organisms. More transient visitors to the watercolumn however also give echoes, and the data provided by the echosounders may be used to assess the behaviour of these

7. Stable isotope analysis reveals trophic variation in adult Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) around the Antarctic Peninsula from austral fall to early winter

   Abstract:  The Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a key species in the Southern Ocean ecosystem and an important link in the food web of the Antarctic ecosystem. The trophic information for this species during the transition from the austral fall to the winter is important to understand its

8. VME detection thresholds: preliminary results of a study on the case of the sea pens (Pennatulacea) of the CCAMLR sector 58.4.4b

   Abstract:  CCAMLR has defined Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VME) detection thresholds based on the benthos bycatch monitoring. When these thresholds are reached during a single longline fishing operation, the data are reported to the Secretariat to inform the CCAMLR about the potential presence of

9. Adult male Antarctic fur seals: tourists, trouble makers or marine ecosystem sentinels?

   Abstract:  Resource competition often results in mechanisms that ameliorate its effects, typically through the partitioning of resource exploitation either temporally or spatially.  Understanding the spatial and temporal overlap between predators that exploit the same resource then is fundamental

10. Population variability of biological parameters of penguins along the Antarctic Peninsula

    Abstract:  A collection of published papers about population variability of several biological parameters and factors affecting penguins biology along the Antarctic Peninsula is presented in order to contribute to the general knowledge of penguin biological variation, to generate a data baseline in
