Uncertainty in standard sphere calibrations
Abstract: In fisheries acoustics, the standard sphere method of echosounder calibration is most commonly used (Johannesson and Mitson, 1983; Simmonds et al., 1984). To investigate the uncertainty in the method, a series of experiments were conducted in a deep tank (Demer and Hewitt, 1993). Results

Acoustic survey design to estimate krill biomass in Subareas 48.1, 48.2 and 48.3
Abstract: The Scientific Committee has requested advice on the feasibility of conducting a synoptic survey of krill biomass in Statistical Area 48. Example calculations are presented for estimating the amount of survey effort required to achieve a target level of precision using a stratified

Uncertainty in acoustic surveys of Antarctic krill
Abstract: Studied were four primary sources of uncertainty in krill density estimates from acoustic surveys. The variance in system calibration with a standard sphere was evaluated in relation to sphere material and diameter, water temperature, and pulse length (Demer and Hewitt, 1992).

An acoustic estimation of krill densities to the north of South Georgia in January 1994
Abstract: Dual frequency (38 and 120 kHz) acoustic surveys were carried out in two regions along the northern coast of South Georgia from RRS lames Clark Ross during January 1994. Difference in signal strength between the two frequencies (δMVBS = MVBS 120 kHz- MVBS 38 kHz) was used to discriminate

A comparison of acoustic targets at South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands during a season of profound krill scarcity
Abstract: Dual frequency (38 and 120 kHz) acoustic surveys of shelf-break regions in the vicinity of Willis Islands, South Georgia and Coronation Island, South Orkneys, both in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, were carried out from RRS lames Clark Ross during January 1994. Difference in

A comparison of geostatistical and random sample survey analyses of Antarctic krill acoustic data
Abstract: Data from the acoustic surveys of MV SA "Aghulas" and FRV "Walter Herwig", and the 1981 RRS "John Biscoe" South Georgia acoustic survey were analyzed by geostatistical methods. Estimates of mean density (g m-2) of krill and their variances are compared with

Variation in the diet of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps throughout the breeding season at Half-Moon Island, South Shetland Islands
Abstract: One hundred and seventy three regurgitated casts of the blue-eyed shag or imperial cormorant Phalacrocorax atriceps were collected in a colony at Half-moon Island, South Shetland Islands, by weekly sampling throughout the breeding season from December 1993 to February 1994. Demersal

Comparison of the diet of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps by the analysis of pellets and stomach contents
Abstract: A total of 45 pellets from the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps were collected in January 1994 at Duthoit Point, Nelson Island, South Shetland Islands. The analysis showed fish as the main prey, followed by octopods, polychaetes and gastropods. Notothenia coriiceps formed the bulk
