Some specific characteristics of Dissostichus eleginoides biology in the vicinity of the Kerguelen Islands (Division 58.5.1)
Abstract: For recent years Dissostichus eleginoids is the main target species of trawling and ... long-line fisheries in the vicinity of the Kerguelen Islands. Results of research made by the author on ... present paper. Regular direct distribution of size groups D. eleginoides in depth range within the fishing ... area on the northern slope of shelf was revealed. Difference in feeding spectrum of these groups was ...

CCAMLR ecosystem monitoring program standard methods: determination of sex of Adelie penguins
Abstract: The suggestion that sex of Adélie penguins, Pygoscelis adeliae, might be assigned by ... observing which member of the pair (the male) takes the first long incubation shift (Anon. 1991) was ... examined for each of the 1990–91, 1991–92 and 1992–93 breeding seasons. There was an 8- or 9-day period ... when more than 90% of the incubating birds were male and a 6- or 7-day period when more than 90% of the ...

Maximum entropy reconstruction of stock distribution and inference of stock density from line-transect acoustic survey data
distribution from acoustic line-transect data. MaxEnt is founded on the bedrock of probability theory and ... allows the most efficient possible use of known data in the inference process. The method takes explicit ... account of spatial correlation in the observed data and seeks to reconstruct a distribution of density ... maximized. The method is iterative and uses the Bayesian approach of evaluating the posterior probability of ...

Utilising data from ecosystem monitoring for managing fisheries: development of statistical summaries of indices arising from the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program
Abstract: A potential method is presented for combining data collected as part of the CCAMLR ... ecosystem monitoring program (CEMP) into a single index for each of predator, prey and environmental ... parameters. The paper is divided into four main parts. The first part develops the proposed method of forming ... summary indices, which is based on the usual theory of multivariate statistics and takes into account the ...

Development of a fine-scale model of land-based predator foraging demands in the Antarctic
Abstract: The CCAMLR Secretariat has been requested to provide annual calculations of the catch ... of krill within the critical period-distance of land-based predators in Subareas 48.1 and 48.2 (100km ... from colonies, December- March). This index of the overlap of predators and the fishery is unsuitable ... for a number of reasons. An alternative method of calculating an index of fishery-predator interaction ...

Development of methods for evaluating the management of benthic impacts from longline fishing using spatially explicit production models
Abstract: An important management objective for CCAMLR in the high seas region of the Antarctic ... is to develop appropriate methods of monitoring and managing impacts of bottom fisheries on ... investigate a range of simple scenarios for simulating the effect and management of benthic impacts from ... longline fishing effort. Simulations were carried out under a range of productivity assumptions, impact ...

Examination of the characteristics of the fishery for Dissostichus eleginoides in the CCAMLR Statistical Subarea 48.3 and its implications on estimating trends in catch per unit effort
eleginoides in Subarea 48.3. We concentrate on presenting the results of preliminary work on the potential ... effects of changing fishing patterns on the standardisation of the CPUE time series. We consider whether ... the spatial pattern of fishing might have changed over the years, whether the current measure of ... fishing effort (number of hooks on a line) has changed in its fishing properties over time, and if soak ...
