1. KRILLBASE: a circumpolar database of Antarctic krill and salp numerical densities, 1926–2016

   Abstract:  Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and salps are major macroplankton contributors to Southern Ocean food webs and krill are also fished commercially. Managing this fishery sustainably, against a backdrop of rapid regional climate change, requires information on distribution and time

4. Reporting procedures for the continuous fishing method

   Abstract:  Information about catch and effort from the fishing fleet is vital for evaluation of the management of krill. The continuous trawling method requires adapted reporting procedures compared to traditional trawling. The present reporting procedure of 2-hour intervals has demonstrated

5. The use of net monitoring cable in trawl fishery for krill

   Abstract:  Based on the discussion at EMM 2016 we here present challenges, results and potential of using a net cable to inform crew and scientists on trawl performance. Some results from ongoing tests demonstrate its potential in allowing observations of trawl in relation to krill distribution and

7. Fishing behaviour of Chinese krill fishing fleet

   Abstract:  Understanding the fishing behavior of a kind of fishery is a very important part of developing and managing this fishery comprehensively. In this paper, based on the random walk model, the relationship between distance and frequency distribution of the adjacent krill fishing positions

8. Linking acoustic scattering coefficient to krill fishery data: feasibility of estimating krill abundance using fishing survey

   Abstract:  Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) is a key species in the Southern Ocean ecosystems and supports different levels of predators. It is also an important economic species for Antarctic fisheries. In this paper, using the multi-frequency acoustic data and the fishery data, the

10. Increasing abundance of Type A killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the coastal waters around the Antarctic Peninsula

    Abstract:  The physical marine environment around the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is rapidly changing and we need to understand the impact on marine ecosystems. A diverse community of killer whales (Orcinus orca; Types B1, B2 and A) are important top predators around the AP, but there are currently no
