2. Some components of uncertainty in the CCAMLR 2000 acoustical survey of krill

   Abstract:  Quickly studied and quantified were sources of uncertainty in the CCAMLR 2000 ... acoustical estimate of krill abundance in FAO statistical area 48. The variance in system calibration was ... evaluated in relation to the effects of variant water temperature and salinity on sound speed, sound ... and orientations. The uncertainty in species delineation was also investigated through the same ...

4. QUANTIFYING MOVEMENT BEHAVIOUR OF VESSELS IN THE ANTARCTIC KRILL FISHERY

   Abstract:  Ten years of recent finescale haul-by-haul krill data were used to characterize the ... behaviour of the krill fishery. Analysis of distance between hauls in relation to their catch level revealed ... 10 t per haul, and the travel distance decreased as the catch level increased; this pattern was most ... longer distances moved between hauls in Area 48.1 compared to 48.2 and 48.3 reflecting the large number ...

   Shetland Islands, during January and February 1993, were analyzed to determine the importance of fish in ... the diet of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps bransfieldensis. Fish species were identified by ... means of otoliths found in the casts. The size and weight of the fish were estimated from the otolith ... , comprising 91% of prey items. From the 937 otoliths found, 562 fish were represented and 524 were assigned to ...

10. Using preferred habitat models for chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) to help improve krill fisheries management during the penguin breeding season

    planning. Using habitat models to understand which variables influence the distribution of predators at-sea ... can enable us to predict the distributions of un-tracked populations, and thus help to identify any ... potential threats they may face. In the Southern Ocean the expanding krill fisheries have the potential to ... impact penguin populations. We show that the distribution of chinstrap penguins can be predicted using ...
