3. Investigations of intensity of krill drift near South Georgia Island

   Abstract:  Calculation of drift’s speed (transport with current) of Antarctic krill along the ... ) was assumed about 60 km. Speed of drift in these spatial limits was assumed about 10 cm sec-1. The ... average density of krill before the beginning of transport along the island’s shore was assumed about 0.1 ... for three main types of water circulation (the typisation according to Maslennikov, 1979).

4. Sources of variability associated with Adélie penguin CEMP parameters measured at Béchervaise Island, East Antarctica

   Abstract:  We examine the magnitude of a variety of sources of variability associated with CEMP ... parameters. The CEMP parameters considered in this paper include: A3: breeding population size, A1: arrival ... be considered as either sampling variance or process related variance, although sometimes the two can ... be confounded. Temporal variability, that is the between-season variability, was consistent across ...

8. Analysis of krill fishery operations in Subarea 48.1: spatial-time distribution of CPUE and fishing efforts

   Abstract:  In previous years we revealed that period 2006-2011 is characterized by the highest ... values of standardized CPUE indices in the Subarea 48.1 for the last 25 years. We continue to investigate ... krill fishery data for understanding reasons of this ‘high CPUE’ regime. The authors present the ... method. We obtained the additional evidence that ‘high CPUE’ regime’ in 2006-2011 is not associated with ...
