1. EVALUATION OF VME TAXA MONITORING BY OBSERVERS FROM FIVE VESSELS IN THE ROSS SEA REGION ANTARCTIC TOOTHFISH LONGLINE FISHERIES DURING THE 2008-09 SEASON

   Abstract:  Conservation Measure 22-07 (2008) requires vessels fishing in the Ross Sea region (and most areas south of 60 °S) to monitor longline bycatch for VME indicator organisms. Observers classified invertebrate bycatch using new protocols and a new VME taxa classification guide, and retained

3. REPORT ON THE ABANDONED GILLNET RETRIEVAL OPERATION CONDUCTED BY AUSTRALIA IN CCAMLR STATISTICAL DIVISION 58.4.3B (BANZARE BANK)

   Abstract:  Illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing vessels are increasingly using gillnets as a fishing method to target toothfish in the Convention area. Estimating the impact of IUU fishing is hampered by a lack of data on the design, deployment, catch and bycatch rates of gill nets.

8. PHYSICAL CONTROLS ON CORAL COMMUNITIES ON THE GEORGE V LAND SLOPE: SOME WORKING HYPOTHESES

   Abstract:  Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The challenge is now to understand their likely distribution. The CEAMARC survey of 2007/2008 found these communities at sites on the

9. ANALYSIS OF VME DATA COLLECTED BY UK VESSELS FISHING IN THE ROSS SEA DURING THE 2008/09 CCAMLR SEASON

   Abstract:  Analysis of VME data collected in 2008/09 by UK vessels and national and international observers onboard was carried out to explore evidence of VMEs in the Ross Sea. 2008/09 data corroborated areas in 88.1I, E and F identified in our previous analysis of data collected by observers on UK

10. USING GENETIC CONNECTIVITY TO IDENTIFY VULNERABLE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS (VMES) IN ANTARCTICA – THE ISSUE OF SCALE

    Abstract:  This paper reviews, reanalyzes and contributes new data pertinent to understanding genetic connectivity in benthic invertebrates at differing spatial scales in Antarctica. This information is valuable for understanding the potential resilience of benthic communities under threat from
