Variation in echosounder calibration with temperature and some possible implications for acoustic surveys of krill biomass
results from multiple Antarctic and European calibration events which suggest that echo-sounder transducer ... calibration parameters were to be employed on survey around South Georgia, and no account were taken of the ... differences in gain settings, then integrated 120 kHz echo signals would be under-reported by 2.8 dB, leading ... in turn to an under-estimation of krill biomass by 52.5 %. Every effort should therefore be made to ...

Is toothfish catch correlated with the catch of vulnerable benthic invertebrate taxa?
fishing would be higher than if VMEs are distributed randomly with respect to fishing locations. This ... footprint. If high target fish catch rates are associated with habitats where VMEs are found, impacts from ... evidence that the presence of any of six VME taxa was related to Antarctic toothfish catch at the scale of ... scales (10–100 km) would be useful to determine if both toothfish and individual VME taxa have regionally ...

Foraging partitioning between giant petrels Macronectes spp. and its relationship with breeding population changes at Bird Island, South Georgia
may be reduced by the limited overlap in the activity range, with southern giant petrels foraging ... females in both species. Sex differences agree with previous observations on diet and on attendance at ... seal carcasses, suggesting that females mainly forage at sea, whereas males mainly scavenge on the ... during the breeding season on fur seals, which have increased exponentially in recent years, may be ...

Spatial distribution of Champsocephalus gunnari size and age are related with depth
all species resulted significantly associated with depth, positively in the case of C. gunnari and N ... . rossii and negatively for the remaining species. Less association with depth is observed in C. gunnari as ... the fish grow older, indicating that the spatial separation is controlled by depth. The accumulated ... catches of age I- present maximum difference with the older age classes at about 150 meters a result which ...
