1. Report of the Steering Committee for the WG-EMM Workshop on Plausible Ecosystem Models for Testing Approaches to Krill Management

   Abstract:  This paper reports on the intersessional activities of the Steering Committee of the “Workshop on plausible ecosystem models for testing approaches to krill management” in preparation for the workshop at WG-EMM 2004. The overarching Terms of Reference are (i) to review the approaches

2. Incidental seal entanglements on trawl vessels fishing for krill in CCAMLR Subarea 48.3

   Abstract:  Observers on krill vessels fishing around South Georgia in the 2003 fishing season recorded fur seal captures by some krill fishing vessels. These captures can be attributed to the absence of effective mitigation measures (escape panels in the nets) and lack of experience of crews new to

3. The applicability of international conservation instruments to the establishment of marine protected areas in Antarctica

   Abstract:  Many international conservation treaties, non-binding agreements and other instruments that have relevance to marine protected area (MPA) development provide for action to be taken globally, and thus include Antarctica within the scope of a worldwide system of marine protected areas.

4. Food consumption estimates of southern elephant seal females during their post-breeding aquatic phase at South Shetland Islands

   Abstract:  Labelled water methodology was used to quantify energy expenditure during lactation and energy gain during the post-breeding aquatic phase in Southern elephant seal females at Stranger Point, King George Island (25 de Mayo). During lactation females spent a mean of 6021±1365 Mj, which

5. Physical forcing in the southwest Atlantic: ecosystem control

   Abstract:  In the southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, temporal variability in the physical environment has been recorded since the early part of the last century. For example, ocean temperatures are known to vary both between seasons and between years. Time series analysis of sea

6. Conceptual model of Antarctic epi- and mesopelagic fish

   Abstract:  The Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is currently considering plausible models of the Southern Ocean ecosystem within the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM). Epi- and mesopelagic fish are key components in the

7. Conceptual model of icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari)

   Abstract:  The Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is currently considering plausible models of the Southern Ocean ecosystem within the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM). The icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, is one of the key

8. Developing conceptual models of elements of the Antarctic marine ecosystem: marine mammals

   Abstract:  The Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is currently considering plausible models of the Southern Ocean ecosystem within the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM). This paper describes properties for two groups of marine

9. A review of models of Southern Ocean ecosystems: krill, ecosystems and the impacts of harvesting

   Abstract:  An ecosystem approach for the management of human activities in the Southern Ocean is enshrined in the principles of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). The implementation of such an approach requires an understanding of the wider dynamics

10. Predation on cephalopods by Pygoscelis papua and Arctocephalus gazella at South Orkney Islands

    Abstract:  The cephalopod diet of the Gentoo penguin, Pygoscelis papua and the Antarctic fur seal, Arctocephalus gazella was comparatively analyzed at Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands. A total of 125 stomach samples were collected by the water off-loading method from Gentoo penguins during the
