1. Improving mechanistic understanding between larval krill, krill recruitment, and sea ice

   Abstract:  Antarctic Krill, Euphausia superba, is the key species of the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Earlier analysis suggested decrease in krill abundance by 50% since the mid 1970’s to early 2000’s in the Southwest Atlantic Sector, which has been specifically linked to a decrease in extent and

2. Outline for year 3 of the 3-year longline survey to determine toothfish population connectivity between Subareas 48.2 and 48.4

   Abstract:  This paper outlines the specific research objectives and plan to achieve them for the third year of an agreed 3-year longline survey, in the wider context of connecting the recently undertaken surveys in Subarea 48.2 with the established fishery in Subarea 48.4. The overall research

3. Diet overlap among top predators at the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica

   Abstract:  In order to understand interspecific trophic relationships among top predators, we analyzed diet information on nine bird and two seal species collected in the austral summer from 1996 to 2000 at South Orkney Islands. Overall, the diet of most of the predators was mainly composed of

4. Foraging patterns in the Antarctic Shag Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis at Harmony Point, Antarctica

   Abstract:  During the 1995 and 1996 summer seasons the foraging patterns of the Antarctic Shag Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis were studied by direct observation on individuals breeding at Harmony Point, Nelson Island, South Shetland Islands. During pre-laying and incubation individuals of both sexes

5. Candidate baseline data for ecosystem indicators in the Ross Sea region

   Abstract:  The research and management plan for the Ross Sea region MPA is currently under development. That plan will identify key research questions that aid in assessing the MPA’s efficacy in achieving its objectives. It may be helpful to have an agreed set of baseline data for key species which

6. Summary of New Zealand research projects relevant to the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area

   Abstract:  This paper provides a summary of research projects and activities led by New Zealand researchers that are relevant to spatial planning, monitoring and research in relation to the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area. The inventory includes: (1) research to establish “baseline”

7. Research concept on catchability to study toothfish abundance/stocks in the Antarctic marine areas

   Abstract:  Main two methods, which are used for the estimation of abundance/stocks of toothfish in the Antarctic marine areas, are the method based on tag recaptures and the method grounding on the CPUE data. But calculation of toothfish abundance with using these methods demands a number of

8. Results of a scientific electronic monitoring pilot study on the FV Janas during the 2017/18 Ross Sea fishing season

   Abstract:  During the 2017/2018 toothfish season in the Ross Sea, the New Zealand flagged Janas trialled a scientific electronic monitoring system during fishing operations in the Ross Sea region. The integrated system collected video data from three cameras (two at the starboard hauling area and

9. Guidelines for fisheries-directed research addressing the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area Research and Monitoring Plan

   Abstract:  Implementation of the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area (CM 91-05) and the associated Research and Monitoring Plan (SC-CAMLR XXXVI-20) requires multidisciplinary research efforts by Members. Some of the research required will necessarily be implemented through CCAMLR approved

10. Monitoring and managing the effects of environmental change on toothfish assessments

    Abstract:  This paper presents a ‘first-step’ proposal for CCAMLR to consider the effects of environmental variability and change on management advice from toothfish assessments. We focus on changes to environmental conditions that are maintained over a number of years, which includes the effects
