1. General information about CEMP

   Abstract:  The CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) was established in 1985 with the aim to detect and record significant changes in critical components of the Antarctic ecosystem, and to differentiate between changes due to commercial harvesting of resources and those arising from natural

2. Krill fishery information

   Abstract:  A compilation of information and work pertaining to the krill fisheries in CCAMLR waters in presented, including: • A report on catches for the last, complete season (2001/02) and an update on catches in the current season (2002/03); • Further development of measures of overlap between

3. Diets of sympatrically breeding Adélie, gentoo and chinstrap penguins from Admiralty Bay, South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, 1981 to 2000

   Abstract:  Given the importance and interdependence of diet studies to monitoring work, we compared data on the stomach contents and food load masses among three species of Pygoscelis penguins during chick rearing over the 20-year period from 1981 to 2000. All three penguin species were largely

4. Krill biomass and density distribution in February–March 2002 in Subarea 48.3

   Abstract:  Presented are the results of krill acoustic survey carried out by Russian RV Atlantida on the South Georgia shelf within the 500-m isobath. The survey was made during the period from February 14 to March 5, 2002. Average krill density in the survey area was estimated at 45.45 g/m2 and

5. On commercial significance of krill aggregations

   Abstract:  We made an attempt to estimate krill commercial biomass density within the fleet operation areas and compare it with critical density values for marine animals feeding on krill. The results of acoustic investigation obtained in the Soviet trawler operation areas in Subareas 48.1-48.4

6. Diseases outbreak threatens Southern Ocean albatrosses

   Abstract:  Infectious diseases have the potential to cause rapid decline and extinction in vertebrate population and are likely to be spreading with increased globalisation and climate warming. In the Southern Ocean and in Antarctica no major outbreaks of infectious diseases have been reported,

10. Population of macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus at Marion Island, 1994/95 to 2002/03, with information on breeding and diet

    Abstract:  There is indication that numbers of macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus at subantarctic Marion Island have decreased since the early 1980s. Estimates of the population at the island fell from about 405 000 pairs in 1983/84 and 434 000 pairs in 1994/95 to about 356 000 pairs in 2002
