1. Revised South African work plan for 2014/15 for the joint Japan/South Africa research on Dissostichus spp. in Subarea 48.6

   Abstract:  A multi-year plan for research by Japan and South Africa aimed at yielding a tag-based assessment of the Dissostichus resource in statistical Subarea 48.6 was adopted in 2012 and formulated in CM 41-04. This paper submits a work plan for the South African contribution to the third year

2. An assessment of the use of ocean gliders to undertake acoustic measurements of zooplankton: the distribution and density of Antarctic krill in the Weddell Sea

   Abstract:  A calibrated 120 kHz single-beam echo-sounder was integrated into an ocean glider and deployed in the Weddell Sea, Southern Ocean. The glider was deployed for two short periods in January 2012, in separate survey boxes on the continental shelf to the east of the Antarctic Peninsula, to

3. Short paper to CCAMLR on the ICED Southern Ocean food webs and scenarios workshop: ICED information paper for CCAMLR WG-EMM

   Abstract:  The ICED programme is investigating how climate change might impact Southern Ocean ecosystems in order to help inform management of Southern Ocean fisheries. As part of this ICED convened a workshop in November 2013 on “Southern Ocean food webs and scenarios of change”, and is currently

4. Developing high-resolution hydrodynamic models of the shelf regions around South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands

   Abstract:  Many of the key oceanographic and ecological processes that determine the structure and functioning of ecosystems in the regions around South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands operate over small scales of <10 km.  This paper reports the initiation of a project to develop high

5. Interannual variability in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) density at South Georgia, Southern Ocean: 1997 – 2013

   Abstract:  This paper, now in press in ICES Journal of Marine Science, presents krill density estimates for a 17 year time series of acoustic surveys of the Western Core Box at South Georgia.  Krill targets were identified in acoustic data using the approved CCAMLR protocol, that is using a multi

6. Exploring variability in the locations used by the krill fishery in Area 48 in relation to intra- and inter-annual variability in seasonal sea ice

   Abstract:  We present preliminary analyses of krill fishery catch data covering the period December 2000 to November 2013. We show that fishing vessels in Subareas 48.2 and 48.3 are conservative in their behaviour, targeting fixed geographic locations in most years. In contrast, in Subarea 48.1,

7. First global census of the Adélie penguin

   Abstract:  We report on the first global census of the Adélie Penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae), achieved using a combination of ground counts and satellite imagery, and find a breeding population 53% larger (3.79 million breeding pairs) than the last estimate in 1993. We provide the first abundance

8. Recommendations from a cross-sector workshop on krill fishing and conservation in the Scotia Sea and Antarctic Peninsula region

   Abstract:  In June 2014, the ICED programme, the British Antarctic Survey and WWF co-hosted a two day workshop entitled “Understanding the objectives for krill fishing and conservation in the Scotia Sea and Antarctic Peninsula region” which involved participants from the science, conservation and

9. The southernmost find a Magellanic penguin Spheniscus magellanicus in Antarctica

   Abstract:  During 18 Ukrainian Antarctic expeditions, from March 31 2013 to April 7 2014, in region Ukrainian Antarctic station "Academic Vernadsky" study of avifauna was conducted. Magellanic Penguin Spheniscus magellanicus was newly recorded for that area. Currently, this finding is the

10. Progress report on the scientific data compilation and analyses in support of the development of a CCAMLR MPA in the Weddell Sea (Antarctica)

    Abstract:  This progress report represents a follow up of WG-EMM-13/22 (WG-EMM, Jul 2013, Bremerhaven) and SC-CAMLR-XXXII/BG/07 (SC-CAMLR-XXXII, Oct 2013, Hobart). The authors intend to update the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management on the actual state of our project, particularly
