1. Demonstrating proof of concept of the application of systematic conservation planning at the circumpolar scale

   Abstract:  Systematic conservation planning is a recognised tool for advancing ongoing efforts to establish meaningful protection for the unique biodiversity of the Southern Ocean. With conservation planning already underway in a number of priority areas within the Southern Ocean, this report looks

2. Variability and predictability of Antarctic krill swarm structure

   Abstract:  Swarming is a fundamental part of the life of Euphausia superba, yet we still know very little about what drives the considerable variability in swarm shape, size and biomass. We examined swarms across the Scotia Sea in January and February 2003 using a Simrad EK60 (38 kHz, 120 kHz)

3. Responding to climate change: Adélie penguins confront astronomical and ocean boundaries

   Abstract:  Long-distance migration enables many organisms to take advantage of lucrative breeding and feeding opportunities during summer at high latitudes and then to move to lower, more temperate latitudes for the remainder of the year. The latitudinal range of the Adélie penguin spans ~22o.

4. Spatial and seasonal distribution of adult Oithona similis in the Southern Ocean: predictions using boosted regression trees

   Abstract:  We applied a multivariate statistical modelling technique called boosted regression trees to derive relationships between environmental conditions and the distribution of the adult stage of the cyclopoid copepod Oithona similis in the Southern Ocean. Nearly 20 000 samples from the

6. Estimation of IUU catches of toothfish inside the Convention Area during the 2009/10 fishing season

   Abstract:  The paper presents an estimate of IUU catches of toothfish during the 2009/10 fishing season, using the standard, compliance derived methodology. The paper was revised on 4 October 2010 to take into account new information submitted in respect of two vessels fishing in Divisions 58.4.1

7. Development of the VME registry

   Abstract:  The Secretariat has proposed a work plan and budget for the development of a VME registry to manage, store, process and summarise data notified under CMs 22-06 and 22-07 (SC-CAMLR-XXVIII, paragraph 4.251(xvi)). This registry would include a secure database for holding notification

9. Preliminary assessment of mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) in the vicinity of Heard Island and McDonald Islands (Division 58.5.2), based on a survey in March–April 2010, including a revised growth model

   Abstract:  A survey of mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, was undertaken in Division 58.5.2 in the vicinity of Heard Island in March-April 2010 to provide the information for an assessment of short-term annual yield in the 2010/2011 CCAMLR season. This paper provides a preliminary

10. How much do icefish (Notothenioidei, Channichthyidae) eat in the southern Scotia Arc and the Antarctic Peninsula region?

    Abstract:  Ration and daily food consumption in 3 low-Antarctic (Champsocephalus gunnari, Chaenocephalus aceratus, and Pseudochaenichthys georgianus), and 3 high-Antarctic (Chionodraco rastrospinosus, Cryodraco antarcticus, and Chaenodraco wilsoni) ice fish species were estimated around islands of
