1. Comparison of temperature situation near South Georgia in December–February, 1989–1990, 1990–1991, 1999–2000 and 2000–2001 on satellite data and information about krill catches in Subarea 48.3

   Abstract:  Monitoring of the sea surface temperature (SST) in Subarea 48.3 on satellite data (GOES-E, Meteosat), use of in situ data and the further analysis of the SST maps, maps of the SST anomalies and dynamics provide strictly special, but constant information on hydrological situation in the

2. Sources of variance in studies of krill population genetics

   Abstract:  There is a long-term interest in the population genetics of Antarctic krill species because of their ecological end economic importance. The possibility that there are distinct genetic stocks of these species would affect the design of management strategies for conserving them. A recent

3. Distribution and size of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) in the Polish commercial catches in the Atlantic sector of Antarctica in 1997–1999

   Abstract:  The distribution, density and length composition of krill in commercial concentrations were investigated in the regions of South Shetland, Elephant, South Georgia and South Orkneys in spring and summer 1997-1999. The concentration densities varied with area and season. The densest

4. An investigation of avoidance by Antarctic krill of RRS James Clark Ross using the Autosub-2 autonomous underwater vehicle

   Abstract:  The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Autosub-2 was deployed on eight missions ahead of RRS James Clark Ross in the northern Weddell Sea and in the Bransfield Strait to assess avoidance of the research vessel by Antarctic krill Euphausia superba. The AUV was equipped with the same type

5. Multiple acoustic estimates of krill density at South Georgia during 2000/2001 reveal significant intra-annual and spatial variability

   Abstract:  Three separate acoustic surveys of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) were conducted around South Georgia in the 2000/2001 season: in October 2000 (early-season); during late December / early January 2000/2001 (mid-season), and in March 2001 (late-season). The surveys were the first in

6. Notes on methods for measuring and estimating the status of krill

   Abstract:  Standardisation of methods to measure krill and estimate maturity and feeding status is essential if studies involving inter-comparison of datasets are planned. The methods used by workers from different institutes are outlined in the hope that standardisation by WG-EMM can be

7. The development of the role of the WG-EMM Subgroup on Methods

   Abstract:  The WG-EMM sub-group on methods is potentially in a position to change its emphasis from one that considers methods for collecting data as part of CEMP to one that considers and develops methods for analysing and using those data to provide management advice. Within this expanded role

8. Growth of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba at South Georgia

   Abstract:  Antarctic krill Euphausia superba has a central role in the ecosystem of the Southern Ocean and knowledge of its growth rate is central to determining the factors influencing population dynamics. The length of Antarctic krill in the diet of Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella at

9. Seasonal and interannual variation in foraging range and habitat of macaroni penguins at South Georgia

   Abstract:  In marine ecosystems, characterisation of the foraging areas and habitats of predators is a key factor in interpreting their ecological role. We studied the foraging areas of macaroni penguins at Bird Island, South Georgia, throughout the breeding seasons of 1999-2001 using satellite

10. Growth rates of Antarctic fur seals as indices of environmental conditions

    Abstract:  The growth rates of Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gazella pups estimated from weighing cross-sections of the population were compared with measured/inferred changes in the the availability of their main prey species, Antarctic krill Euphausia superba from 1989-2000. There was no
