1. Winter and summer foraging location of Adélie penguins from Mawson, Davis and Casey

   Abstract:  Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) are a key Southern Ocean higher-order predator with a diet which is largely comprised of the fishery target species Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). Being central-place foragers during the breeding season, their foraging range is restricted by the

2. Commercial fishing vessel as research vessels in the Antarctic – requirements and solutions exemplified with a new vessel

   Abstract:  The climate-induced changes presently seen in the ecosystems of Antarctic region require a precautionary approach with respect to the human use of these ecosystems. In particular, resource harvesting requires enough basic knowledge as well as adequate monitoring to avoid unintended

3. Report of the first SCAR-CCAMLR Joint Action Group meeting

   Abstract:  As agreed in 2012 (SC-CAMLR XXXI para 10.6) SCAR and CCAMLR held a 1-day Action Group meeting in Brussels during the ATCM. The aims of the meeting included examining specific mechanisms that SCAR and CCAMLR might implement to work together in a more strategic manner and identifying a

4. Draft MPA Report for the South Orkney Islands, Subarea 48.2; Part of CCAMLR MPA Planning Domain 1, Western Peninsula – South Scotia Arc

   Abstract:  In this paper we provide a brief history that describes the development of management plans and research and monitoring plans for CCAMLR MPAs. We develop a worked example of the management plan, research and monitoring plan and threats analysis for the South Orkney Islands southern shelf

5. Southern Ocean Network of Acoustics (SONA)

   Abstract:  Southern ocean processes are intimately linked to some of the most pressing challenges faced by society today: climate change, ocean acidification and the sustainable management of marine resources. To address these challenges we need to improve our understanding of the natural causes

6. Developing a penguin tracking database to help determine their most important foraging areas

   Abstract:  In late 2012 SCAR, BirdLife and BAS developed a successful proposal (to the UK Darwin Plus Fund) to build an integrated database that would facilitate the analysis of penguin tracking data. The database will have a web-based user interface that will allow data holders to submit data and

7. Historical data synthesis in the Southern Ocean: Priority data sets

   Abstract:  As part of its long-term goal, ICED encourages the rescue and integration of existing data sets to enable investigation of long-term, large-scale ecosystem dynamics across the Southern Ocean. Historical data sets have a particular value in providing ‘baseline’ physical and biological

8. Potential climate change effects on the habitat of Antarctic krill

   Abstract:  Antarctic krill is an obligate cold water species, an increasingly important fishery resource and a major prey item for many fish, birds and mammals in the Southern Ocean. The fishery and the summer foraging sites of many of these predators are concentrated between 0° and 90°W. Parts of

9. Recent British Antarctic Survey publications relevant to the agenda of WG-EMM 2013

   Abstract:  WG-EMM has a broad agenda for discussions in 2013, including the following items related to feedback management: “review of spatial and temporal structure in the ecosystem in which the current Area 48 fishery operates” and “development of agreed decision-making mechanisms for the

10. Characterising catch and effort from data-poor toothfish fisheries in CCAMLR Divisions 58.4.3 – 58.4.4

    Abstract:  A  preliminary characterisation of available fishing information regarding catches and effort in Divisions 58.4.4a, 58.4.4b, 58.4.3a and 58.4.3b is presented. Information analysed corresponds to fishing logbooks recorded in the exploratory fisheries carried out between July 2000 and
