4. The diet of the Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gazella at the Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula

   Abstract:  The diet of non-breeding male Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella was investigated at the Danco Coast, Antarctic Peninsula, by the analysis of 31 and 149 scats collected from January to March 1998 and 2000 respectively. Overall fish and krill, followed by penguins and squids, were

9. Detecting trends in the krill fishery

   Abstract:  The development of the krill fishery can be monitored and predicted using a number of different sources of information. Information on current catches and scientific information on the krill stocks is of limited value in plotting trends in the fishery at its current level. Predictions by
