1. Remotely operating camera network expands Antarctic seabirds observations of key breeding parameters for ecosystem monitoring and management

   Abstract:  This paper provides some of the detail to standardisation examples that are outlined in the more general Working Group paper titled ‘The importance of standardising and validating new methods for CEMP to maintain the robustness of long-term time series’. We recommend reading the general

2. Spatially extensive standardized surveys reveal widespread, multi-decadal increase in East Antarctic Adélie penguin populations

   Abstract:  This paper provides some of the detail to standardisation examples that are outlined in the more general Working Group paper titled ‘The importance of standardising and validating new methods for CEMP to maintain the robustness of long-term time series’. We recommend reading the general

3. Direct ageing of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) – potential utility of eyestalk sections for age determination

   Abstract:  We outline a method for the direct determination of age in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). Recent studies (Kilada et al. 2012), have shown that annular growth bands are present in the endocuticle layer of the eyestalks and gastric mill in decapod crustaceans. Here we report on a

4. A small unmanned aerial system for estimating abundance and size of Antarctic predators

   Abstract:  Quantifying the distribution and abundance of predators is integral to many ecological studies, but can be difficult in remote settings such as Antarctica. Recent advances in the development of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), particularly vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, have

5. Scientific background document in support of the development of a CCAMLR MPA in the Weddell Sea (Antarctica) - Version 2015 - Part C: Data analysis and MPA scenario development

   Abstract:  Germany intends to present the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG EMM) the background document that provides the scientific basis for the evaluation of a marine protected area (MPA) in the Weddell Sea planning area. The contents and structure of the whole document

6. Admiralty Bay (South Shetland Islands) - long-term marine monitoring program

   Abstract:  Dynamic climate changes have become noticeable in recent decades, especially in the vulnerable region of Western Antarctic. It is widely assumed that Antarctic biota are sensitive to environmental changes. Admiralty Bay (King George Island, South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Peninsula)

7. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles based monitoring of indicator species populations on King George Island (Subarea 48.1)

   Abstract:  Unmanned Aerial Vehicles specially adapted for operation in polar regions were used to study distribution and size of three Pygoscelis penguin species on King George Island (Subarea 48.1) in the austral summer 2014/15 season. During photogrammetric flights the high-resolution images of

8. Selectivity and two biomass measures in an age-based assessment of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)

   Abstract:  An integrated, age-structured model was fitted to different combinations of survey data using two forms of selectivity (logistic or double-logistic) with time-constant or annually varying selectivity to investigate the population dynamics of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) near the

9. Evaluation of Antarctic krill biomass and distribution off the South Orkney Islands 2011-2015

   Abstract:  Annual acoustic trawl surveys for krill monitoring have been carried out by the Institute of Marine research, Norway near the South Orkney Islands since 2011. The survey has been conducted early in the fishing season (January/February), using two different krill fishing vessels as

10. Estimation of the green weight of krill caught

    Abstract:  Vessels operating in the krill fishery in CCAMLR’s Convention Area are required to directly estimate the green weight of krill caught (Conservation Measure 21-03, Annex B). This requirements was introduced for the 2012/13 seasons, and the estimation methods were revised at WG-EMM-13 and
