1. Status of krill target strength

   Abstract:  Empirical estimates for the target strength of krill are extracted from the literature. These are confined to measurements on aggregations of live euphausiids, which should avoid a frequent cause of bias in single-animal measurements, namely thresholding. Theoretical estimates for the

2. Variability of krill stock composition and distribution in the vicinity of Elephant Island during AMLR investigations 1988-1992

   Abstract:  Krill stock composition and distributional patterns in the vicinity of Elephant Island during austral summer 1988-1992 are described. Changes in both size and maturity composition over the five year period indicates strong recruitment from the 1987/88 and 1990/91 year classes and poor

3. Alternative methods for determining subarea or local area catch limits for krill in Statistical Area 48

   Abstract:  CCAMLR Conservation Measure 32/X sets a 1.5 million metric ton precautionary catch limit on krill (Euphausia superba) in Statistical Area 48. The measure also asks the Scientific Committee to provide the Commission with advice on how precautionary limits could be applied to subareas or

4. Calibration of an acoustic echo-integration system in a deep tank, with system gain comparisons over standard sphere material, water temperature and time

   Abstract:  This paper outlines the theory and procedures for calibrating an echo integration acoustic system with a standard sphere. It presents the results of an extensive calibration of a Simrad EK500 scientific echo sounder with a 120 kHz sprit-beam transducer in a refrigerated 10m deep tank.

5. Krill catch distribution in relation to predator colonies, 1987-1991

   Abstract:  The distribution of krill catches in relation to predator colonies in Subareas 48.1 and 48.2 is shown. 74-90% of catches in Subarea 48.1 are taken within 100 km of predator colonies between December and March, and these are between 10 and 18% of the estimated total penguin consumption in

6. Abundance, size and maturity of krill (Euphausia superba) in the krill fishing ground of Subarea 48.1 during 1990/91 austral summer

   Abstract:  Acoustic and net sampling surveys for krill were conducted in the krill fishing area north of the South Shetland Islands from 18 January to 3 February 1991. Distinct offshore-inshore heterogeneities in abundance and maturity of krill were observed. The survey region was divided into four

10. Champsocephalus gunnari Lönnberg distribution on South Georgia shelf from inventory survey data collected by AtlantNIRO

    Abstract:  A total of 8 inventory trawling surveys of the bottom fish were made on South Georgia shelf. Ch.gunnari distribution pattern markedly varied by year which can be attributed to differing survey dates. Most dense Ch.gunnari aggregations observed were mainly in the northern, north-western
