1. Monitoring marine debris and its impact on marine living resources in Antarctic waters

   Abstract:  This paper has been prepared by the Secretariat of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) in response to a request from CEP-IV for information on actions taken by CCAMLR on marine debris from fishing vessels, especially in relation to compliance

2. Detection of anti-brucella antibodies in Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) from Cape Shirreff, Antarctica

   Abstract:  A serological study was initiated to determine the presence of anti-Brucella antibodies on marine mammals of Antarctica. For this study, blood and extra vascular fluid samples was taken from 12 Weddell Seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) at the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Nº

3. Antarctic fur seal population dynamics update and assessment of census error at SSSI No. 32, Livingston Island, South Shetlands, Antarctica (2000/2001)

   Abstract:  Cape Shirreff and San Telmo Islets (SSSI Nº32) shelter the largest breeding population of Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella, in the South Shetland Archipelago. Since all censuses up to date have been single counts and do not allow the calculation of confidence limits, a protocol

4. Some notes on by-catch of fishes caught by the fishery vessel Niitaka Maru in the vicinity of the South Shetland Islands (December 2000 to January 2001)

   Abstract:  Scientific observations on fishes incidentally caught during commercial krill fisheries by F/V Niitaka Maru (3910t) were made from 16 December 2000 to 26 January 2001 in the vicinity of the South Shetland Islands. Among 103 net hauls quantitatively examined, by-catch fishes were found in

5. CCAMLR course in survey design and execution – a possible way to assure intellectual continuity and renewal in WG-EMM

   Abstract:  A proposal to arrange a CCAMLR course in survey design and execution at KMRS is put forward to propagate the experiences gained in planning and executing the CCAMLR 2000 krill survey. The proposed course would recruit teachers and students from member countries and illustrate both

6. Defining smaller management areas within CCAMLR

   Abstract:  This paper discusses the principles required to develop of small-scale management units and highlights a work program in this development. It provides the theoretical foundation for considering the scales of management units involving the integration of local populations of harvested

7. Modelling Southern Ocean krill population dynamics: biological processes generating fluctuations in the South Georgia ecosystem

   Abstract:  Variability is a key feature of the pelagic ecosystems of the Southern Ocean and an important aspect of the variation is fluctuation in the abundance of krill, the major prey item of many of the higher predators. Direct impacts of variability in the large-scale physical environment, such

8. Collaboration between GOOS and CCAMLR

   Abstract:  GOOS (Global Ocean Observing System) is a permanent global system for observations, modelling and analysis of marine and ocean variables to support operational ocean services worldwide. It is sponsored by IOC, WMO, UEP and ICSU (see website is http://ioc.unesco.org/goos/). In December

9. Note on demography of Antarctic seabirds

   Abstract:  At last year’s meetings WG-EMM and Scientific Committee expressed an interest in summarized information on seabird demography, particularly in relation to generation time and productivity. this represents a substantial task with not inconsiderable resource implications. However, as an

10. Measurement of ocean temperatures using instruments carried by Antarctic fur seals

    Abstract:  The study aimed to test the utility of instruments deployed on marine mammals for measuring physical oceanographic variation and, using this method, to examine temperature variation in the coastal waters around South Georgia. There was a significant correlation between temperature
