QUANTIFYING MOVEMENT BEHAVIOUR OF VESSELS IN THE ANTARCTIC KRILL FISHERY
Abstract: Ten years of recent finescale haul-by-haul krill data were used to characterize the ... behaviour of the krill fishery. Analysis of distance between hauls in relation to their catch level revealed ... 10 t per haul, and the travel distance decreased as the catch level increased; this pattern was most ... longer distances moved between hauls in Area 48.1 compared to 48.2 and 48.3 reflecting the large number ...

Theoretical considerations for estimating the density of cohorts and mean recruitment of Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) based on research trawl survey data
Abstract: The current method used by the Working Group on Fish Stock Assessment (WG-FSA) for ... assessing the long-term yield for toothfish fisheries in CCAMLR uses estimates of density of juvenile ... toothfish derived from research trawl surveys as an estimate of absolute abundance of recruitment to the ... fishery. At the 2003 meeting of WG-FSA a number of inconsistencies were identified in the estimation of ...

Change of sex ratio of krill (Euphausia superba) from austral early summer to midsummer in 1983/84 in the vicinity of Prydz Bay, Antarctica
Abstract: In this present report the change of the Antarctic krill distribution pattern from ... December 1983 to January/February 1984 in the vicinity of Prydz Bay was analysed. The results showed the ... remarkable change of sex ratio and coefficient of fatness between the early summer and the midsummer.

Using preferred habitat models for chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) to help improve krill fisheries management during the penguin breeding season
planning. Using habitat models to understand which variables influence the distribution of predators at-sea ... can enable us to predict the distributions of un-tracked populations, and thus help to identify any ... potential threats they may face. In the Southern Ocean the expanding krill fisheries have the potential to ... impact penguin populations. We show that the distribution of chinstrap penguins can be predicted using ...
