1. Estimates of krill biomass with commercial significance in small-scale management units applying geostatistics techniques

   Abstract:  The analysis of krill density and biomass distributions was made by the example of SGE and SGW which are located in ecologically crucial areas affecting land-based predators around South Georgia, being the traditional krill fishing areas. The data collected during the 2000 CCAMLR Survey

2. Regionalisation of the Southern Ocean: a statistical framework

   Abstract:  Large ecosystems are often partitioned into spatial compartments (bio- or biophysical regions and/or ecoregions) in order to better understand the relative importance of ecosystem processes or for the purposes of managing human activities in relatively ecologically discrete areas.

3. Using the EPOC modelling framework to assess management procedures for Antarctic krill in Statistical Area 48: evaluating spatial differences in productivity of Antarctic krill

   Abstract:  Spatially explicit simulation models of the Antarctic marine ecosystem are needed to evaluate management procedures for the Antarctic krill fishery. The key issues to be resolved in the development of a harvest strategy are whether (i) spatial differences in the productivity of krill

4. A life table for female Antarctic fur seals breeding at Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island

   Abstract:  Mark-resight data were analysed for five cohorts (1997-2001) to estimate age-specific juvenile survival, age at first reproduction, and resight probabilities. Longitudinal histories of presence and pregnancy of adult females (aged by cementum annuli) were used to estimate age-specific

6. Seabird research at Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, Antarctica, 2005/06

   Abstract:  Our ninth complete consecutive season of seabird research at Cape Shirreff allowed us to assess trends in penguin population size, as well as inter-annual variation in reproductive success, diet and foraging behaviour. The gentoo penguin breeding population declined marginally from the

7. Brief report on scientific observation on the fishery vessel Mellas (FAO Statistical Area 41, January to July 2006)

   Abstract:  Materials on results of scientific observation in fishery cruise on the longliner “Mellas”, operating under the Ukrainian flag in FAO statistical area 41 in the southwest Atlantic outside exclusive (sea) economic zones of the foreign states at Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus

8. Standing stock, spatial distribution and biological features of demersal finfish from the 2006 US AMLR bottom trawl survey of the northern Antarctic Peninsula and Joinville–D’Urville Islands (Subarea 48.1)

   Abstract:  During February-March 2006, the United Station Antarctic Marine Living Resources (U.S. AMLR) Program in collaboration with the German Federal Research Centre for Fisheries conducted a bottom trawl survey of the northern Antarctic Peninsula (southern Bransfield Strait) and Joinville/D

9. Report of new longline system in the exploratory fisheries for Dissostichus spp. in 2005/06

   Abstract:  This document reports that how new bottom long line system instead of Spanish long line system was applied to exploratory long line fisheries for Dissostichus spp. in 2005/06 season, indicating distinctive points on fishing gear, line setting and line hauling process, and explaining the

10. Best practice seabird by-catch mitigation for Spanish-rig longline vessels with emphasis on line weighting regimes

    Abstract:  The Spanish system is used in a range of demersal and semi-pelagic longline fisheries throughout the southern hemisphere and has been the source of a large number of seabird fatalities. An experiment was conducted on a chartered Spanish-rig vessel to improve the sink rate of longlines to
