1. Krill of the Ross Sea: distribution, abundance and demography of Euphausia superba and Euphausia crystallorophias during the Italian Antarctic expedition (January–February 2000)

   ) were analysed to obtain a general picture of the summer distribution pattern, abundance and demography ... of krill in the western Ross Sea (Antarctica). A midwater sampler-trawl (Hamburg Plankton Net) was ... used to collect zooplankton and fish larvae. Mean relative biomass of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba ... , in the area north of Continental Shelf, was 9.3 g/1000m3 of filtered water with a mean density of ...

2. Modelling the consequences of Antarctic krill harvesting of Antarctic fur seals

   Abstract:  In terms of the convention governing the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic ... should take the needs of the predators of krill into account in order to reduce the risk of deleterious ... an annual krill catch limit, which is expressed as a proportion (??= 0.116) of a survey biomass ... estimate. This approach takes the needs of predators into account in only a crude way by assuming that a ...

3. CCAMLR spatial management GIS: potential applications for informing the development of a representative system of MPAs

   GIS facilitates easy mapping of CCAMLR’s spatial management framework and associated conservation ... measures, and standardises this information in terms of projection and coastline position. Access to ... spatially derived parameters through the database may be useful in the design and implementation of ... protected areas as part of the development of a representative system of Antarctic marine protected areas ...

4. Comparison of estimators of effective sample size for catch-at-age and catch-at-length data using simulated data from the Dirichlet-multinomial Distribution

   Abstract:  The incorporation of “effective sample size” (ESS) in integrated assessments is an ... approximate but simple way of modelling the distribution of catch-at-age or catch-at-length frequencies using ... frequencies. The ESS applied within the definition of the negative log-likelihood contribution to the ... -length frequency data relative to the other types of data used in integrated assessments of toothfish ...

5. On the state of Champsocephalus gunnari stock in Subarea 48.3 and methods of its assessment

   2000 showed clearly a necessity to revise the methods of icefish (which is near-bottom and pelagic fish ... species) biomass assessment based on the results of bottom trawl surveys. A question on unreliability of ... stock assessment was repeatedly raised on the meetings of Working Group on Fish Stock Assessment (WGFSA ... ) both during the period of the icefish fishery in 1980s and after its ceasing in 1990s. In all cases, a ...

6. On possibility of using acoustic method to improve quality of Champsocephalus gunnari biomass estimates in Subarea 48.3

   Abstract:  An attempt has been made to study icefish as an object of acoustic survey basing on the ... acoustic and biological data obtained by Russian RN ATLANTIDA in the area of South Georgia Island (January ... -February 2000). Estimation of possible target strength values was made by a comparison to TS of other fish ... and physical body properties. There has been proved a comparability of Ch.gunnari length frequencies ...

In spite of hard ice conditions at most part of the ... Weddell Sea during most time of the year, this large water area is very similar with the Ross Sea. This ... from results of the fist and the second stage of this program, highlight the Weddell Sea as one of the ...
