3. In situ target strength measurements of Antarctic zooplankton (Euphausia superba and Salpa thompsoni) at 120 khz and 200 khz, corroboration of scattering models, and a statistical technique for delineating species

   midwater trawl was used to sample the zooplankton populations and animal length-frequency data were ... recorded. The TS and length-frequency data were combined to corroborate theoretical scattering models for ... both species. The individual TS measurements were collected at 120 kHz with a split-beam echosounder ... and a single-target detection algorithm. Because the two transducers were essentially collocated ...

4. Observer coverage in CCAMLR krill fisheries from 2011 to 2015

   Abstract:  The issue of observer coverage in krill fisheries has been the subject of extensive ... discussion at the Commission for a number of years, as the krill fishery is the only CCAMLR fishery that does ... not require 100% observer coverage. The Secretariat analysed the level of observer coverage for the ... past five years comparing the number of days of fishing conducted by vessels in the krill fleet, with ...

6. Biomass of Antarctic krill around South Shetland using 2-dB difference method in April 2016

   Abstract:  Antarctic Krill plays an important role in Antarctic ecosystems as the medium that ... connects phytoplankton to penguins, seals, and whales. It is also in the limelight as an important protein ... source for the future food resource. Since Krill is mainly schooled within 200m depth, mass catching is ... operated by Norway, Korea, and Japan, etc. Major fishing area is the surroundings of South Sheltland where ...

7. Further krill-predator model calculations

   Antarctic fur seal dataset. These calculations are extended here. The level of krill fishing intensity ... required to halve the fur seal population (γhalf) is between 0.08 and 0.09, slightly lower than that ... estimated previously. Tests of the estimation procedure indicate that γhalf estimates are likely to be ... biased upwards. The estimator is not robust to incorrect specification of the form of the functional ...

8. Catchability of midwater trawls in relation to krill fishery

   Abstract:  The relation between mid-water trawl catchability and its construction, trawling regime ... , krill aggregations distribution in the study area is discussed. It is shown that while the trawl ... selectivity affects krill length composition in each trawl sample, the trawl catchability affects the ... estimation of total krill lengths distribution, obtained on the basis of trawl samples from different catched ...
