Analysis of changes in biomass of fish stocks in the South Georgia Area in 1976/77 – 1986/87
Abstract: The swept area method was used to estimate biomass density changes in the stocks of ... , Notothenia gibberifrons, and Notothenia rossii marmorata in the South Georgia area in the seasons of 1916/77 ... -1986/87. In most of the seasons analysed, the estimates covered a near-bottom layer in about 1/6 of the ... area of the island shelf. Assessment results point to considerable variations in fish biomass density ...

Biotopic and spatial distribution of krill Euphausia superba Dana (Crustacea, Euphausiacea) length groupings in the Atlantic sector of Antarctic in summer 1984 and 1988
Abstract: Three basic length groupings of krill were identified with the clustering analysis on ... the basis of the data of two complex surveys carried out in the western Atlantic sector of Antarctic ... in summer 1984 and 1988. The large-length grouping is biotopically associated with the waters of the ... southern branch of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). The middle-length grouping and the small-length ...

A proposal for large scale sampling of krill in the diet of predators across Area 48 to coincide with the CCAMLR synoptic survey
Abstract: There is a high degree of spatial and temporal variability in the population of ... Antarctic krill Euphausia superba across the Scotia Sea. Resolution of the spatial component of this ... variability requires a 'snapshot' of the krill population over the region (eg the CCAMLR B0 survey ... ) whereas temporal changes have been addressed using time-series of samples from the diet of predators. At ...

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 ...

Estimation of the biomass of krill in Prydz Bay during January/February 1991, February/March 1992 and January/ February 1993 using echo integration
Abstract: Hydroacoustic surveys of the abundance of krill (Euphausia superba) in the Prydz Bay ... surveys indicated some association of krill with the shelf break in the western part of the survey area ... and the centre of the Prydz Bay region but also found that the shelf break was in general not a region ... of relatively high krill abundance. The mean surface density estimates of krill in 1991, 1992 and ...

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 ...
