1. ON INCIDENTAL MORTALITY OF ANTARCTIC KRILL AT KRILL FISHERY

   Abstract:  Analysis of the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) commercial and research fishery in 1970-ies and 1980-ies showed that different modifications of midwater trawls applied had comparatively low catchability, as a rule, 10-20%. The experiments showed that while percolated through large

2. THE RISKS OF NOT DECIDING TO ALLOCATE THE PRECAUTIONARY KRILL CATCH LIMIT AMONG SSMUS AND ALLOWING UNCONTROLLED EXPANSION OF THE KRILL FISHERY UP TO THE TRIGGER LEVEL

   Abstract:  After the Scientific Committee did not reach consensus and advise the Commission on the risks associated with three options for a Stage-1 allocation of the precautionary krill catch limit among SSMUs in Subareas 48.1-48.3, it was suggested that a comprehensive assessment of the risks

3. THE ROSS SEA AS A UNIQUE EVOLUTIONARY SITE

   Abstract:  The case is made that the Ross Sea is an evolutionary site on par with those of the Galápagos, Hawaii, Madagascar, the African Rift Valley lakes, and Lake Baikal, all recognized as World Heritage Sites. The focus herein will be on notothenioid fishes because their taxonomy and phylogeny

4. KRILL CONSUMPTION ESTIMATES FOR CRABEATER SEALS AT THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA AND THE WESTERN WEDDELL SEA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SSMUS OF AREA 48.1

   Abstract:  We report annual Antarctic krill consumption estimates for crabeater seals in the Antarctic Peninsula and western Weddell Sea region (90° to 30° W and 60° to 80° S), with special reference to the CCAMLR SSMUs of FAO management Area 48.1. The estimates are based on updated abundance

5. TOWARDS A SYSTEM OF MARINE SPATIAL PROTECTION FOR THE SOUTH ORKNEY ISLANDS

   Abstract:  The region surrounding the South Orkney Islands has been identified by CCAMLR as one of 11 priority areas in which work to establish spatial protection should be focused (CCAMLR-XXVII Report, para 7.2). In 2008, a pilot study undertaken for this region demonstrated that a systematic

6. MULTIPLE INDICATORS SUGGEST A STRONG ECOSYSTEM ANOMALY AT SOUTH GEORGIA IN 2009

   Abstract:  The marine pelagic system around South Georgia is characterised by considerable inter-annual variability which is linked to large-scale climate variability, indicated and probably mediated by local oceanographic and atmospheric conditions. Much of the observed variability in various

7. THE RESEARCH PROJECT TO DIGITIZE HISTORICAL SOVIET KRILL FISHING EXPEDITION DATA

   Abstract:  The research project to digitize former Soviet krill fishing research, exploratory and commercial expedition’s data has been started in Ukraine at the Southern Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography. This valuable set of krill data was collected during Soviet Union krill

8. RELEVANT ISSUES IN REGARDS TO THE MANAGEMENT OF ANTARCTIC KRILL FISHERIES IN AREA 48

   Abstract:  In 2008, the Ukraine submitted a paper to the Scientific Committee highlighting the magnitude of the scientific uncertainties and data gaps affecting the subdivision of precautionary catch limits among SSMUs in Area 48 (CCAMLR- XXVII/43). The Ukraine suggested that a research plan was

9. SOUTHERN OCEAN SENTINEL: REPORT OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP IN 2009

   Abstract:  The first international workshop on implementing a Southern Ocean Sentinel program was held at the CCAMLR Headquarters in Hobart in April 2009. The conclusions of that workshop are provided to WG-EMM for consideration along with an overview, the program and abstracts of the keynote

10. IMPROVING ESTIMATES OF ADÉLIE PENGUIN BREEDING POPULATION SIZE: DEVELOPING FACTORS TO ADJUST ONE-OFF POPULATION COUNTS FOR AVAILABILITY BIAS

    Abstract:  It is widely recognised that the interpretation of counts of penguin populations at their breeding sites during the breeding period are strongly dependent on the timing within a breeding season at which they are undertaken. While the need to adjust raw penguin count data obtained at
