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

   Abstract:  Effective management of the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba, hereafter krill ... ) fishery requires an understanding of the controls on the distribution and abundance of krill ... .  Particularly important are the pathways and timescales of movement and retention affecting krill distribution ... of the regional and local-scale processes that influence the distribution of krill in CCAMLR Area 48.  Modelling ...

2. MaxEnt reconstructions of krill distribution and estimates of krill density from acoustic surveys at South Georgia 1996–2000

   Abstract:  We present Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) reconstructions of krill distribution and estimates ... of mean krill density within two survey boxes of dimensions 80 km x 100 km to the north east and north ... gathered in the boxes in austral summers 1996 – 2000. Krill densities had previously been determined ... 1600 krill density estimates per box. The MaxEnt technique uses a Bayesian approach to infer the most ...

3. Improving mechanistic understanding between larval krill, krill recruitment, and sea ice

   Abstract:  Antarctic Krill, Euphausia superba, is the key species of the Southern Ocean ecosystem ... . Earlier analysis suggested decrease in krill abundance by 50% since the mid 1970’s to early 2000 ... -ice coverage. More recent studies suggest more complex and/or dynamic nature of krill population ... trajectory as well as its link with decadal climatic events. Krill population dynamics is thought ...

4. The use of predator-derived krill length-frequency distributions to calculate krill target strength

   Abstract:  The relationship between krill abundance and predator performance is fundamental ... to an ecosystem based approach to resource management. We propose a method using krill sampled from the diet ... of predators to provide a length-frequency distribution of krill at times when it is possible to run automated ... operations. This will allow a robust estimate of krill abundance to be estimated from acoustic data. Changes ...

5. Analysis of variability of krill size and fish by-catch in Japanese krill fishery based on scientific observer data

   on Antarctic krill commercial fishing vessels, we estimated the relationship between statistical precision ... and sample size by using variance component analysis. Observer datasets on Japanese krill fishery from 1995 ... biological process error in the population dynamics from fishery process as observation error. In both krill ... -temporal variability in size structure of krill population, which is presumably derived from large ...

6. Modelling growth and reproduction of Antarctic krill: implications of spatial and temporal trends in temperature and food for ecosystem-based management of krill fisheries

   Abstract:  Errors in the growth model used in stock assessments of Antarctic krill, specifically ... higher rates of growth than occur in reality, could inadvertantly lead to over-exploitation of the krill ... population and cause impacts on krill predators.  We review the three classes of models available ... for modelling krill growth – the von Bertalanffy class, the moult-cycle class based on measures of the duration ...

Distribution of the 1st krill group (juveniles 25 ... concentration of krill of the 3rd group (50-56 mm) transported there by ACC waters. Such concentrated schools ... are transported to South from East of archipelago, and may be mixed with krill of the 1st group. It is very ...

10. Some aspects of the relation between Antarctic krill abundance and CPUE measures in the Japanese krill fishery. (Component of SC-CAMLR-VI/BG/4)

    Abstract:  The history of the Japanese krill fishery is reviewed briefly. Important aspects ... quality considerations- in particular the increasing tendency to avoid catching "green” krill ... . These factors result in Catch-per-Day and Catch-per-Haul measures being unlikely to index krill abundance ... of indexing the extent of the krill distribution through routine oceanographic monitoring merits attention ...
