1. Influence of krill availability on humpback whale breeding success

   Abstract:  The abundance of the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has been declining in the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), probably as a consequence of the effects of the considerable increase in the sea surface temperature observed in the region. Thus, the performance (reproduction and

2. Climate change impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptations: Southern Ocean marine fisheries

   Abstract:  • The Antarctic region is characterized by complex interaction of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change that produce high levels of variability in both physical and biological systems, including impacts on key fishery taxa such as Antarctic krill. • The impact of

3. CEMP data inventory/summary and updated spatial analysis of Area 48

   Abstract:  This paper reports on available CEMP data and details of use as a guide for CEMP-related analyses, including an update on CEMP metadata available on the CCAMLR GIS and as hosted on the NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). CEMP data submissions for the 2017/18 season are detailed

4. Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean – Brief Report, June 2018

   Abstract:  A Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean (MEASO) is a quantitative assessment of the status and trends of habitats, species and food webs in different regions.  It aims to provide a common foundation for all end-users on which science can be developed, and policies and

5. “Sailbuoy for krill” – a concept for autonomous commercial and scientific monitoring of the krill fishing in Antarctica

   Abstract:  Science based management of krill suffers from limitation of time-space information in distribution dynamics. Similarly, the industry burns unnecessary amounts of oil in long range searching of fishable biomass due to lack of density distribution information. In this paper, we

6. Protocols for trawl sampling, recording of biological data, and hydrography for the 2019 International synoptic krill survey in Area 48

   Abstract:  Experience gained through participation in international programmes like BIOMASS and the CCAMLR 2000 Survey has demonstrated that standardization of equipment and methods is one of the most crucial steps for any successful work during the field sampling period and later analytical work.

7. Abundance and trends of Type B killer whales (Orcinus orca) around the western Antarctic Peninsula

   Abstract:  The western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is warming rapidly and we need to understand the impact of these physical changes on the marine ecosystem. The WAP is surrounded by a complex marine food web involving a number of predator and prey populations, and empirical data on abundance and

8. Uncertainty in reported geographical distribution and weight of krill catches from Norwegian krill fishing vessels operating continuous fishing systems

   Abstract:  During the 2017 CCAMLR WG-EMM Norway was requested to act towards the industry to ensure catch reporting in accordance with the present conservation measure (CM 21-03) and to investigate potential errors in historical catch report data. As a response, the Norwegian delegation presented a

9. Revised proposal for a dedicated krill survey for CCAMLR Division 58.4.1 during 2018/19 season by the Japanese survey vessel, Kaiyo-maru

   Abstract:  A dedicated krill survey for CCAMLR Division 58.4.1 during 2018/19 season will be carried out by Japanese research vessel, Kaiyo-maru. No krill biomass has been estimated in the Division since 1996 when Australia conducted BROKE. There are two main objectives of our survey: (1)

10. Genetic identification of fish caught as by-catch in the Antarctic krill fishery and comparison with observer records

    Abstract:  Juvenile/larval fish taken as bycatch in the Antarctic krill fishery (CCAMLR subarea 48.1, 48.2 and 48.3) were identified by DNA barcoding and results compared with morphological identifications made on vessels by scientific observers. A total of 344 fish (primarily in the families
