1. POTENTIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SCIENTIFIC DATA FROM THE KRILL FISHERY

   Abstract:  CCAMLR has agreed that there is a requirement for systematic observation from the krill fishery, however, current levels of observer coverage are not distributed evenly across years, regions or vessels. The number of observer days as a proportion of the number of days fished varied

2. Catch Uncertainty in Krill Fisheries

   Abstract:  Catch uncertainty is a component of uncertainty that is not routinely considered by CCAMLR. However, given the currently reported variability in conversion factors for krill, a nominal reported catch of 600 000t could actually represent a catch in ‘green weight’ of 2.5 million tonnes.

3. PROGRESS TOWARDS EXPERT GROUP MANUSCRIPTS FOR THE CCAMLR-IWC WORKSHOP TO REVIEW INPUT DATA FOR ANTARCTIC MARINE ECOSYSTEM MODELS: UPDATE ON PROGRESS 2008

   Abstract:  This document summarises progress by expert groups towards having manuscripts ready for the CCAMLR-IWC Workshop to review input data for Antarctic marine ecosystem models: update on progress 2008. Data collation is progressing well for all groups, except for flying birds. Draft

4. MULTIPLE TIME SCALES OF VARIABILITY IN THE KRILL POPULATION AT SOUTH GEORGIA

   Abstract:  The South Georgia region supports a high biomass of krill that is the subject to high inter-annual variability. The lack of a self-sustaining krill population at South Georgia means that understanding the mechanism underlying these observed population characteristics is essential to a

5. Short note: By-catch of fishes caught by the krill fishing vessel Niitaka Maru in the South Georgia area (August 2007)

   Abstract:  Scientific observation on the species composition and abundance of fishes incidentally caught during Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba DANA) fisheries by F/V Niitaka Maru (5200t) were made from 6 August to 30 August to the north of South Georgia Is. Among 87 net hauls quantitatively

6. ADULT ANTARCTIC KRILL FEEDING AT ABYSSAL DEPTHS

   Abstract:  Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a large euphausiid, widely distributed within the Southern Ocean, and a key species in the Antarctic food web. The Discovery Investigations in the early 20th century, coupled with subsequent work with both nets and echosounders, indicated that the

7. CLIMATICALLY DRIVEN FLUCTUATIONS IN SOUTHERN OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS

   Abstract:  Determining how climate fluctuations affect ocean ecosystems requires an understanding of how biological and physical processes interact across a wide range of scales. Here we examine the role of physical and biological processes in generating fluctuations in the ecosystem around South

8. TIMING OF CLUTCH INITIATION IN PYGOSCELIS PENGUINS ON THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA: TOWARDS AN IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF OFF-PEAK CENSUS CORRECTION FACTORS

   Abstract:  Penguin censuses on the Antarctic Peninsula are often subject to logistical challenges that preclude nest censuses being conducted at the peak of egg laying as established by the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) (Scientific Committee for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine
