1. CEMP indices: 2007 update

   Abstract:  The CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) uses indices derived from data on indicator species collected by standard methods in the three Integrated Study Regions of the Convention Area. Each year the Secretariat updates the standardised index values and provides a summary of trends

2. Southern Ocean continuous plankton recorder survey: spatial and temporal patterns of variation in zooplankton abundance, distribution and diversity

   Author(s):  G.W. Hosie (Australia) Title:  Southern Ocean continuous plankton recorder survey: spatial and temporal patterns of variation in zooplankton abundance, distribution and diversity Approval:  Approved

3. Spatial patterns of temporal relationships in the Southern Ocean

   Abstract:  Phytoplankton production during the austral summer in the Southern Ocean is known to be limited by iron and light. Distributions of satellite-detected chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) show very complex and time-variable patterns that are hard to explain. We analysed covariance between satellite

4. Use of biological data to inform bioregionalisation of the Southern Ocean

   Abstract:  Innovative multivariate statistical modeling techniques allow modelers to generate spatially comprehensive species distribution layers from discontinuous biological data, by fitting complex and scale-dependent relationship between species abundance and available environmental data. These

5. A scheme for mapping Antarctic seafloor geomorphology to aid benthic bioregionalisation

   Abstract:  Publicly available bathymetry and geophysical data can be used to map geomorphic features of the Antarctic continental margin and adjoining ocean basins at scales of 1:1-5 million. The geomorphic features identified and their properties can be related to major habitat characteristics

6. Summary fact sheets for bioregionalisation of the Southern Ocean – examples from the Indian Ocean sector (Area 58)

   Abstract:  Factsheets outlining the physical and biological attributes of selected sectors of the CCAMLR convention area are presented. An overview of CCAMLR Area 58 (Indian Ocean Sector) illustrates bathymetry and major oceanographic features (fronts and sea ice extent) and describes the findings

7. On biogeographic patterns of benthic invertebrate mega fauna on shelf areas of the Southern Ocean Atlantic sector

   Abstract:  The ideal approach to bioregionalisation of Antarctic and Southern Ocean shelf communities incorporates a range of data on physical, environmental and biological properties, as well as the interaction of these properties. Here, benthic invertebrate megafaunal communities of shelf

8. Bioregionalisation: some key questions and considerations

   Abstract:  Bioregionalisation is a process to classify data on a range of environmental, biological and ecological attributes, resulting in a spatial framework that can be used as a planning tool for conservation and sustainable resource use. The success of this process will be dependent on
