1. 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 ...

2. 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 ...

3. 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 ...

4. 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 ...

5. 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 ...

6. 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 ...

7. STRUCTURE OF THE WATER MASSES AND KRILL DISTRIBUTION IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE ATLANTIC ANTARCTIC AREA

   Abstract:  The data of 18 expeditions fulfilled by AtlantNIRO during 1970-2000 in the central and ... eastern part of the Area 48 (Subareas 48.4 and 48.6) were summarized. Distribution of krill was analyzed ... with reference to the structure and dynamics of the water masses in the area of the Southern Sandwich ... Islands arc, the Bouveau Island, the Maude seamount, the southern part of the Lazarev Sea and up to the ...

8. 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 ...

9. Accounting for food requirements of seabirds in fisheries management – the case of the South African purse-seine fishery

   bergii. Availability of prey is thought to influence the populations of these species, but their food ... requirements have not been accounted for in management of the purse-seine fishery on sardine and anchovy. Means ... of identifying and attaining target populations of predators that are dependent on forage fish prey ... conservation status of a species may prove useful in determining minimum viable populations, and that the use ...

10. Estimating the biodiversity of the sub-Antarctic Indian part for ecoregionalisation: Part I. Pelagic realm of CCAMLR areas 58.5.1 and 58.6

    Abstract:  Two studies are tabled for the Subantarctic pelagic area of CCAMLR areas 58.5.1 and ... 58.6, which covers the Crozet Basin and the north of the Kerguelen Plateau: one based on marine pelagic ... species (plankton and fish), and the second on top predators. In this report, we followed three types of ... bioregionalisation of the Southern Ocean based on abiotic and chlorophyll- a characteristics of the habitat only, and ...
