Spatial and temporal variability in the fish diet of Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gazella in the atlantic sector of the southern ocean
Abstract: The spatial and temporal variability in the fish component of the diet of Antarctic fur ... seals Arctocephalus gazella (Peters 1975) in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean was examined ... habitat/topography. The absence of formerly harvested fish species indicates a lack of recovery of stocks ... of Notothenia rossii (Richardson 1844) at South Georgia and Champsocephalus gunnari (Lönnberg 1905 ...

Possible effects of different levels of fishing on krill on predators - some initial modelling attempts
Meeting of the CCAMLR's WG-Kril1 and WG-CEMP in 1992 to address this issue. First. estimates are made ... of the parameters of predator survival rates as functions of krill abundance, by considering a krill ... . Computations based on this model indicate that variability in the annual recruitment of krill results in ... . However, the analyses also raise a number of questions about the proper interpretation of the available ...
