1. Krill fishery information

   Abstract:  Compilation of information and work pertaining to the krill fisheries in CCAMLR waters is presented, including: • A report on catches for the last, complete season (2002/03) and an update on catches for the current season (2003/04); • Measures of overlap between the krill fishery and

2. The living planet index

   Abstract:  UNEP-WCMC is developing further an approach for measuring and communicating trends in biodiversity captured in the Living Planet Index. The Index is based on average trends in populations of several hundred vertebrate species from around the world, and UNEP is interested in including

4. Development of the acoustic survey database

   Abstract:  Last year we established a new, dedicated database to archive research survey data submitted to CCAMLR. This database is ‘event-driven’ – i.e. each survey can be characterized by a series of events (eg trawl, CTD, acoustic etc) and each event has a set of measurements (eg amount caught,

5. Revision of Conservation Measure 91-01 (2000), Annex 91-01/A ‘Information to be included in Management Plans for CEMP sites’

   Abstract:  At the 2003 meeting of the Commission, the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the Advisory Subgroup on Protected Areas were endorsed by the Commission (CCAMLR XXII (paragraph 4.26). One task, which was directed to the intersessional work of the Subgroup, was TOR (ii) “to revise and keep under

6. Acquiring a ‘base datum of normality’ for a marine ecosystem: the Ross Sea, Antarctica

   Abstract:  The Ross Sea Shelf Ecosystem (RSShelfE) offers the last chance to understand ecological processes in a system where both top-down and bottom-up forcing are still intact. Elsewhere in Earth’s oceans the systems used for understanding ecological processes and fishery effects all have

8. Foraging patterns in the Antarctic shag (Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis) at Harmony Point, Antarctica

   Abstract:  During the 1995/96 and 1996/97 summer seasons the foraging pattern of the Antarctic Shag Phalacrocorax bransfieldensis was studied by direct observation on individuals breeding at Harmony Point, Nelson Island, South Shetland Islands. During pre-laying and incubation individuals of both

9. Demography of Antarctic krill in the Lazarev Sea (Subarea 48.6) and the Elephant Island area (Subarea 48.1) in 2004

   Abstract:  Standardized krill net sampling surveys were conducted in the Lazarev Sea (Subarea 48.6) in April 2004 and in the Elephant Island area (Subarea 48.1) in January and February/March 2004. Krill densities in the Elephant Island area were below the long-term average which mark a substantial

10. A possible framework in which to consider plausible models of the Antarctic marine ecosystem for evaluating krill management procedures

    Abstract:  CCAMLR requires an assessment method for recommending a subdivision of the krill catch limit in Area 48 that will be highly likely to achieve the objectives of the convention despite the uncertainties in knowledge. This will be part of the management procedure governing the krill fishery
