In accordance with decision of CCAMLR Scientific Committee in 2010 and in 2011 years Russian Federation was conducted research program in SSRU 88.2 A. In seasons 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 Russian vessel “Chio Maru 3” (“Antei” Ltd.) has been conducted research fishing of toothfish. The primary objective of the works in the SSRU was estimation of toothfish’s distribution density and carrying out of tagging. Obtained results shows that investigated area is potentially advantageous for fishing and could be recommended for exploratory fishing under CCAMLR regulations.
Abstract:
Updated ICESCAPE routines are submitted and a short review of the software is presented. Several recent studies indicate the usefulness of ICESCAPE for standardising Adélie penguin population counts taken at potentially different points in a breeding season. Such standardisation admits the possibility of, for the first time, comparing Adélie penguin population counts across space and time for all historically published population estimates. Recently added functionality is described, along with several suggestions for further work.
