1. Estimating prey consumption of the non-breeder component of an Adélie penguin population

   Abstract:  Estimating the consumption of prey by higher-order predators is a priority for WG-EMM as an element in CCAMLR’s ecosystem-based approach to management for the krill fishery in the Southern Ocean. Previous assessments of prey consumption for seabirds have focussed on breeders using data

2. Dietary studies of Adélie penguins through faecal DNA analysis

   Abstract:  The composition of penguin diet is currently monitored through the A8 CEMP Chick Diet monitoring parameter. The current Standard Method involves stomach lavage to collect the stomach contents of adult birds and sorting the samples to identify prey composition and mass. At WG-EMM-12 it

3. Feeding habits and prey consumption of Antarctic minke whale Balaenoptera bonaerensis in the Indo–Pacific region of the Southern Ocean

   Abstract:  The Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) is the most abundant baleen whale species in the Southern Ocean. Quantitative information on prey consumption of whales is useful to understand their feeding ecology and role in the Antarctic marine ecosystem. The purposes of this

4. The Norwegian SWARM project: from swarming behaviour to trophic interactions: modelling dynamics of Antarctic krill in ecosystem hotspots using behaviour-based models

   Abstract:  Norway is in the process of extending its monitoring efforts in the area around South Orkneys by deploying acoustic moorings in a commercially exploited area. Data gathered from the moorings will be used to parametrise models, in order to gain better understanding of the interaction

5. Analysis of the krill fishery in Subarea 48.1 considering trawl fishing method used (2010–2016)

   Abstract:  An analysis of spatio-temporal variability of CPUE indices in the krill fishery in subarea 48.1 by years and small-scale management units, including inter-annual, monthly and inter-vessel variability with account of the fishing method used is presented. Particular attention is paid to

6. Analysis of inter-vessel variability of krill length distribution in the catches obtained in the fishery in the Bransfield Strait (Subarea 48.1)

   Abstract:  The inter-vessel variability of krill distribution in the catches obtained in the Bransfield Strait (SSMU APBSW and APBSE) in April and May 2014 and 2015 was analyzed. The presence of statistically significant differences in the krill length distributions from  catches obtained by the

8. A bioenergetics model assessment of the prey consumption of Adélie penguins in Subarea 48.1 and 48.2

   Abstract:  We present a preliminary analysis to estimate the consumption of prey by Adélie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae in Subareas 48.1 and 48.2 during the period when penguins are constrained by breeding. We parameterised our analysis using data from the population of Adélie penguins breeding at

9. SO-AntEco: Contributing information and scientific advice on benthic biodiversity in the South Orkney Islands (Domain 1) region

   Abstract:  SO-AntEco was a British Antarctic Survey (BAS) led expedition undertaken in conjunction with an international team of scientists from the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR) AntEco research programme. The team included participants from nine different countries and 15

10. Identification of marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas for penguins in South Shetland and South Orkney Islands: a comparison of two different approaches

    Abstract:  • We provide a method of analysing penguin tracking data to identify marine IBAs, based on pre-existing approaches but revised according to the specific ecology of Pygoscelis penguin species; • Key improvements to the pre-existing approach include 1) refining track interpolation methods,
