Dynamics of Antarctic penguin populations in relation to inter-annual variability in sea-ice distribution
Abstract: To investigate the role of sea ice cover on penguin populations we used principal ... component analysis to compare population variables of Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) and chinstrap (Pygoscelis ... population size remained stable, whereas that of chinstrap penguins decreased slightly. For neither species ... apparent inverse density-dependent relationship between the number of Adélie breeding pairs and the number ...

Target strength of Antarctic krill
Abstract: In-situ measurements of individual krill target strength are presented (modal value ... reproductively mature and averaged 47.44mm in length. Results agree well with recent predictions of acoustic ... target strength based on extrapolations of other field experiments using the bent cylinder model of sound ... scattering by elongated zooplankters. The modal value of the measurements is 6.7dB lower than that predicted ...

Semi-empirical acoustic estimates of krill biomass derived from simulated commercial fishery data based on single-frequency acoustics
fishing seasons. From these data we develop semi-empirical indices of acoustic biomass in a Generalized ... Linear Modeling framework. We correlate these estimates of biomass with acoustic estimates derived from ... Elephant Island and West Shelf Areas of the US AMLR survey grid. Cross-validation of acoustic estimates ... frequency of animals is skewed towards larger animals. We show that it is possible to develop semi-empirical ...
