2. Estimation of the fishery–krill–predator overlap

   Abstract:  Work undertaken during the intersessional period has enabled better use of the krill fishery data, and a comparison between the three existing indices of fishery-krill-predator overlap used by CCAMLR (catch in the Critical Period and Distance [CPD], Agnew-Phegan index, and Realised

3. Draft standard methods for environmental indices F1, F3 and F4

   Abstract:  We requested data and information for further developing draft standard methods for recording sea-ice cover viewed from a CEMP site (Index F1), local weather at a CEMP site (Index F3) and snow cover at a CEMP site (Index F4). The information at hand was reviewed, and a revised approach

4. Cephalopod diet of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) at King George Island, South Shetland Islands

   Abstract:  In the austral summer of 1995/96, 25 southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, were stomach lavaged at Stranger Point, King George Island, South Shetland Islands. Cephalopod remains were present in 72% of the individuals sampled (n=18). Seven species of squid and 3 of octopus were

6. Effects of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current on fishing for squid (Illex Argentinus) in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean

   Abstract:  The paper introduces several approaches to assessment of hydrological situation in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean (the South-West Atlantic). The analysis of the SST maps suggests that hydrological factors depend on the intensity of two currents, the Antarctic Circumpolar

7. Trends of Antarctic fur seal population at SSSI No. 32, Livingston Island, South Shetlands, Antarctica

   Abstract:  We update in this paper the previously reported model for the Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gazella population breeding at Cape Shirreff and San Telmo Islets (SSSI No.32), Livingston Island, South Shetland, Antarctica. We also discuss the current reliability of the model and related

8. Estimation of krill biomass from an acoustic survey carried out in 1986, during a study of predator–prey interactions around the western end of South Georgia

   Abstract:  An acoustic survey, designed to study the distribution of shore-breeding, marine predators and their pelagic prey, was carried out in 1986 around the western end of South Georgia. This paper describes how this acoustic data has been used to estimate krill biomass of part of the original

9. Underwater noises produced by research vessels (some comments on acoustic sampling protocol for the Area 48 synoptic survey

   Abstract:  The underwater vessel noise levels perceived by the echosounder EK-500 transducers of three Russian research vessels have been presented. These data have been compared to the estimate of the underwater noise level, produced by the Icelandic R/V B.Saemundsson.. Underwater noise level

10. Interannual variation in the autumn diet of the gentoo penguin Pygoscelis papua at Laurie Island, Antarctica

    Abstract:  The diet of the gentoo penguin Pygoscelis papua was investigated during three different autumn periods at Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands (60°46’S, 44º42’W), Antarctica. Stomach contents of migrant adults were sampled during 1993, 1995 and 1996. Fish were the most important prey by
