“Standard methods in video” was prepare to improve standarization of data collection for different groups that are working in CEMP.
It was made under recommendation of WG CEMP) (Stockholm 1990) endorsed by the Scientific Committee ( Report Ninth Meeting of the Scientific Committee pag 38 5.17). The video was made in PAL N system.

“The penguins and the man” is a video made with the three main goals, the first two are general, for the scientific communities and the third is an specific one, to introduce argentine people involved in work for CEMP.
1.- The first objective is to show basic biology of adelie penguins necesary to understand principles of CEMP standard methods.
2.- The second is to introduce philosophical principles of the Convention and CEMP.
3.- The third is to show to argentine workers, specially for their first time in Antarctica, how is the way and the work that they will do.
It was made under recommendation of WG CEMP (Stockholm 1990) endorsed by the Scientific Committee ( Report Ninth Meeting of the Scientific Committee pag 38 5.17). The video was made in PAL N system.

A census of the breeding population of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) at South Georgia was carried out during the 1990/91 breeding season. Using counts of adult females ashore at the breeding grounds during the pupping period, together with corrections for the likelihood of a female being ashore at a census and for pregnancy rate (71 % in 1990/91), pup production was estimated as 269,000 (95% confidence intervals 188,000 - 350,000). The breeding population in 1990/91 was reduced at long-term study sites probably because of a short term reduction in food availability. Data from these sites were used to estimate the pup production of the population had 1990/91 been a typical year. Based on values from 1983/84 to 1990/91, pup production in 1990/91 would have been 378,000 (S.E. = 19,100) if it had been an average year. The annual increase from 1976/17 to 1990/91 was 9.8% which shows that the rate of increase in pup production has declined since the initial period of population expansion in the 1950s and 1960s. Increased population size has led to an expansion of the breeding range at South Georgia.
