1. Changes in the diet of the South Georgia shag Phalacrocorax georgianus at the South Orkney Islands along four consecutive years

   Abstract:  The diet of the South Georgia Shag Phalacrocorax georgianus at Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands, was studied by the analysis of 337 pellets (regurgitated casts) collected during the 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 breeding seasons. Demersal-benthic fish were by far the main prey, followed

2. A proposal to subdivide CCAMLR Statistical Division 58.4.1 using environmental data

   Abstract:  A precautionary catch limit for krill was established for CCAMLR Division 58.4.1 in 1996 based on the results of an acoustic survey (BROKE) of the southernmost 873,000 km2 of this area (CCAMLR 1996). Detailed subsequent analysis of the results of this survey have indicated that Division

5. Aerobic dive limit: how often does it occur in nature?

   Abstract:  Diving animals offer a unique opportunity to study the importance of physiological constraint in their everyday behaviors. An important component of the physiological capability of any diving animal is it’s aerobic dive limit (ADL). The ADL has only been measured in a few species. The

6. Some components of uncertainty in the CCAMLR 2000 acoustical survey of krill

   Abstract:  Quickly studied and quantified were sources of uncertainty in the CCAMLR 2000 acoustical estimate of krill abundance in FAO statistical area 48. The variance in system calibration was evaluated in relation to the effects of variant water temperature and salinity on sound speed, sound

7. Documentation for the CCAMLR survey database and length-density analysis

   Abstract:  Over the past two years, the CCAMLR Data Centre has undertaken a major overhaul of the research survey database and the routines used for length-density analyses. This overhaul was necessary because of the increasing quantity and diversity of survey data and their importance in the

9. Longline fishing at Tristan da Cunha: impact on seabirds

   Abstract:  Tristan da Cunha and Gough Islands in the central South Atlantic Ocean support globally important seabird populations. Two longline fisheries occur within Tristan’s Exclusive Economic Zone: a pelagic fishery for tunas and a demersal fishery for bluefish and alfoncino. Fishery observers

10. What do we know about fish stocks in the Southern Scotia region? A review and prospects for future research

    Abstract:  Work on finfish in the southern Scotia Arc was restricted to taxonomy until the end of the 1960’s. Commercial exploitation, primarily on mackerel ice fish, Champsocephalus gunnari, and marbled notothenia, Notothenia rossii, started around the South Orkney Islands (60 – 62° / 43 – 47° W)
