3. The CCAMLR Scheme of International Scientific Observation – A scoping paper on the operations and sampling requirements of the scheme

   Abstract:  Since its inception in 1992 the CCAMLR Scheme of International Scientific Observation  the complexity of documenting procedures, variety of sampling requirements and associated data management have all increased. Given  the likely continued increase in complexity it is essential to have

4. Review of activities in monitoring marine debris in the CAMLR Convention Area

   Abstract:  In 2012 data on beach surveys, debris associated with seabird colonies, marine mammal entanglements and hydrocarbon soilings were received from South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay.  Non-fishing items such as plastics, packaging materials and wood remain the most common type of

5. Hook loss in CCAMLR exploratory fisheries

   Abstract:  The development of methods to estimate unaccounted fishing mortality from lost fishing lines requires an estimate of the number of lost hooks that are attached to sections of line. In 2011 hook loss data was provided by 21 of the 34 vessel/fishery reports with an estimated 317920 hooks

9. Physical and behavioural influences on larval fish retention: contrasting patterns in two Antarctic fishes

   Abstract:  Waters around South Georgia are amongst the most productive in the Southern Ocean, and support internationally important fisheries. However, there is significant inter-annual variability in fish stocks, and some species have failed to recover from historical overfishing. Dispersal and
