1. Defining smaller management areas within CCAMLR

   Abstract:  This paper discusses the principles required to develop of small-scale management units and highlights a work program in this development. It provides the theoretical foundation for considering the scales of management units involving the integration of local populations of harvested

2. Modelling Southern Ocean krill population dynamics: biological processes generating fluctuations in the South Georgia ecosystem

   Abstract:  Variability is a key feature of the pelagic ecosystems of the Southern Ocean and an important aspect of the variation is fluctuation in the abundance of krill, the major prey item of many of the higher predators. Direct impacts of variability in the large-scale physical environment, such

3. Collaboration between GOOS and CCAMLR

   Abstract:  GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System) is a permanent global system for observations, modelling and analysis of marine and ocean variables to support operational ocean services worldwide. It is sponsored by IOC, WMO, UEP and ICSU (see website is http://ioc.unesco.org/goos/). In December

4. Note on demography of Antarctic seabirds

   Abstract:  At last year’s meetings WG-EMM and Scientific Committee expressed an interest in summarized information on seabird demography, particularly in relation to generation time and productivity. this represents a substantial task with not inconsiderable resource implications. However, as an

5. Measurement of ocean temperatures using instruments carried by Antarctic fur seals

   Abstract:  The study aimed to test the utility of instruments deployed on marine mammals for measuring physical oceanographic variation and, using this method, to examine temperature variation in the coastal waters around South Georgia. There was a significant correlation between temperature

6. Soviet krill fishery in 1977–1992, Part 1. Distribution, fishing effort, interannual situation patterns

   Abstract:  The data on Soviet krill fishery in i977-1992 are presented. The fishing effort (FE) developed in 1977-1991 was 50086 fishing days in total. According to the pictures presented FE was distributed between subareas 48.1, 48.2 and 48.3. Monthly FE distribution between subareas revealed the

7. Predation on fish by the southern elephant seal, Mirounga leonina, at King George Island, South Shetland Islands, as reflected by stomach lavage

   Abstract:  Between november and february of the years 1993/94, 1995/96, 1996/97, 1997/98, 1998/99 and 1999/2000, one hundred and fifty three specimens of southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, were stomach lavaged at King George Island in order to analyse their diet. The two major prey types

8. Herpes virus antibodies in Arctocephalus gazella from Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, Antarctica

   Abstract:  This paper describes evidence of antibodies against a virus related with Alphaherpesvirinae sub-family, potentially a phocine herpesvirus (PhHV-1) that affect Antarctic Fur Seals (Arctocephalus gazella) from Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, Antarctica. Body fluid samples of 54 A.

9. Seasonal relationships in biological parameters and in spatial distribution in the euphausiid populations sampled during the XIIIth and XVth expedition to the Ross Sea

   Abstract:  This report summarises the results of krill studies from a large-scale surveys of the Italian Antarctic Oceanographic Cruises conducted in December 1997-January 1998 and January-February 2000. A midwater sampler-trawl (Hamburg Plankton Net) was used to collect zooplankton and fish larvae

10. A three-frequency method to determine the abundance and the size of two euphausiid species (Euphausia superba and Euphausia crystallorophias)

    Abstract:  Euphausia superba and Euphausia crystallorophias dominate the biomass and play a key role in the Ross Sea pelagic ecosystem (Marr, 1962; Azzali et al., 1999). To estimate the abundance of each stock it is necessary to discriminate E. superba from E. crystallorophias aggregations and to
