1. ANALYSIS OF KRILL OBSERVER COVERAGE IN SUBAREA 48.3

   Abstract:  CCAMLR International Scientific Observer data collected from conventional trawl vessels fishing for krill in Subarea 48.3 were analysed using Variance Components Analysis. Krill mean and median length and larval fish bycatch were analysed. In Subarea 48.3, a partial coverage sampling

2. OPTIONS FOR USING UNREPLICATED ECOSYSTEM MONITORING DATA TO DETECT IMPACTS

   Abstract:  The CCAMLR ecosystem monitoring programme (CEMP) primarily indicates the short term response of air breathing predators to localised environmental conditions. CEMP data do not directly indicate population size, which is the parameter that many conservation objectives attempt to control.

3. SPATIAL PATTERNS IN MACKEREL ICEFISH DIET PROVIDES INSIGHTS INTO KRILL ABUNDANCE AND DISTRIBUTION

   Abstract:  The diet of mackerel icefish was investigated from stomachs of 828 fish caught on the South Georgia and Shag Rocks shelves in January 2009. The results show that the diet of this normally krill-dependent species was dominated by the hyperiid amphipod Themisto gaudichaudii (92 % IRI) and

4. DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW HIGHER PREDATOR MONITORING PROGRAMME AT CUMBERLAND BAY, SOUTH GEORGIA

   Abstract:  The establishment of a new higher predator monitoring location on the north coast of South Georgia is described. Preliminary results obtained from the 2008/09 season are presented. Although this is the first year of monitoring, breeding success of predators monitored in the Cumberland

5. ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC OBSERVER DATA FROM THE RUSSIAN KRILL TRAWLER 'MAXIM STAROSTIN' IN THE SOUTH ORKNEY ISLANDS REGION (SUBAREA 48.2) DURING THE SEASON 2008-2009

   Abstract:  In 2008 fishing season the Russian flagged vessel ' Maxim Starostin ' started fishing operations for krill in the Convention area. The vessel used both conventional and continuous trawl technology. Two Russian national scientific observers were present during all fishing

6. DETECTION OF VULNERABLE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS IN THE SOUTHERN SCOTIA ARC (CCAMLR SUBAREAS 48.1 AND 48.2) THROUGH RESEARCH BOTTOM TRAWL SAMPLING AND UNDERWATER IMAGERY

   Abstract:  High densities of vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) indicator taxa were encountered in 17 areas off the northern Antarctic Peninsula and 11 areas off the South Orkney Islands (CCAMLR Subareas 48.1 and 48.2). These areas, which have been proposed for inclusion in the CCAMLR VME registry,

7. DEMOGRAPHIC PATTERNS OF ANTARCTIC KRILL (EUPHAUSIA SUPERBA) EXPLAIN THE SPATIAL SEGREGATION OF BALEEN WHALES (MYSTICETI) AROUND THE SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS, ANTARCTICA

   Abstract:  Using data collected by U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) Program during January surveys 2003 to 2007, we examine the spatial relationships between baleen whale distributions and Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) abundance and demography near the South Shetland Islands

8. RAPID CLIMATE CHANGE AND LIFE HISTORY: HOW PLASTIC IS THE ADÉLIE PENGUIN?

   Abstract:  Climate change in the Antarctic is having major impacts on physical and biological systems. For the Adélie penguin, which breeds around Antarctica, different populations have been subject to different environmental conditions over space and time. To assess the ability of the Adélie

9. PREDICTING THE VULNERABILITY OF BENTHIC, HABITAT-FORMING ORGANISMS TO DISTURBANCE USING LIFE-HISTORY CHARACTERISTICS

   Abstract:  Assessing the impacts of fishing on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) in the Southern Ocean is hampered by the paucity of information on the resistance and resilience of these ecosystems to disturbance. Both resistance and resilience of individual VME-forming taxa are related to their

10. ON THE STRATOSPHERE OZONE DISTRIBUTION ASYMMETRY POSSIBLE IMPACT ON KRILL BASED ECOSYSTEM

    Abstract:  Besides the climate change impact on krill based ecosystem uncertainties the factors of the ozone distribution asymmetry influence over South Ocean is discussed. The existence of the considerable zonal asymmetry in total ozone distribution over Antarctica due to the planetary waves in a
