1. A risk management framework for avoiding significant adverse impacts of bottom fishing gear on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems

   Abstract:  CCAMLR adopted a new conservation measure in 2007 (CM 22-06) to ensure that significant adverse impacts of bottom fishing gear on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) are avoided. Due to the high levels of uncertainty surrounding both the evidence of VME presence and the consequences of

2. Notification of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems in Statistical Area 58.4.1

   Abstract:  Conservation Measure 22-06 was adopted to ensure that significant adverse impacts of bottom fishing gear on Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) are avoided. In order to satisfy the requirements of CM 22-06 a method is proposed to notify CCAMLR of the presence of VMEs and their location

3. KRILL FISHERY BEHAVIOUR IN THE SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC

   Abstract:  10 years worth of recent finescale haul-by haul krill data were used to characterize behaviour of krill fishery. Analysis of travel distance in relation to catch level revealed a pattern that mean travel distances are longer after the least catch levels, and the travel distances

4. KRILL FISHERY BEHAVIOUR IN THE 1999/2000 SEASON

   Abstract:  This document provides information on krill fishery behaviour and fishing ground condition in 1999/2000 season to assist consideration of the regional krill density and distributional conditions observed in the CCAMLR 2000 synoptic survey. The vessels seemed to have been moving around

5. UPDATED KRILL RECRUITMENT DATA FOR THE ELEPHANT ISLAND REGION OF THE SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS, ANTARCTICA; 2002-2008

   Abstract:  The proportional krill recruitment index is updated from 2002 to present using data from the US AMLR surveys around Elephant Island, Antarctica. Proportional recruitment indices were derived from the CMIX procedure, and were also derived as a proportion of the <30 mm length class for

6. PROPOSED APPROACH FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF IMPORTANT MARINE AREAS FOR CONSERVATION: USING ‘MARXAN’ SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT SYSTEMATIC CONSERVATION PLANNING

   Abstract:  We provide a worked example of how a systematic conservation planning methodology (Margules & Pressey, 2000) might be used to identify important areas for conservation of biodiversity in the pelagic environment, using Subarea 48.2 (South Orkney Islands) as a pilot study area. The aim

7. Flexible foraging strategies of gentoo penguins help buffer the impacts of inter-annual changes in prey availability

   Abstract:  Gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua show considerable plasticity in their diet, diving and foraging behaviors among colonies; we expected that they might exhibit similar variability over time, at a single site, since flexible foraging habits would provide a buffer against changes in prey

8. DOWN-SCALING FOOSA TO MODEL THE ADMIRALTY BAY PYGOSCELID PENGUIN COLONIES: A WORK IN PROGRESS

   Abstract:  We apply Foosa at the scale of interactions among the 3 breeding penguin colonies, krill, and environmental variability at the long-term research site in Admiralty Bay, King George Island. This work-in-progress serves 2 purposes: 1) to use historical data to estimate parameters in a

9. PROPOSAL FOR A JOINT CEP/SC-CAMLR WORKSHOP IN 2009

   Abstract:  At its meeting in 2007 CCAMLR endorsed the proposal from the Scientific Committee for a joint CEP/SC-CAMLR workshop. The CEP discussed this at its meeting in June 2008 and suggested a theme of ‘Opportunities for collaboration and practical cooperation between the CEP and SC-CAMLR’. The

10. PRELIMINARY ESTIMATION OF PENGUIN BREEDING ABUNDANCE AT SPATIAL-SCALES OF RELEVANCE TO CCAMLR: INCORPORATING UNCERTAINTY IN COUNT DATA

    Abstract:  One recommendation from the Predator Survey workshop was the undertaking of some immediate inter-sessional work to be reported to WG-EMM-08. The work to be undertaken included preliminary estimation of SSMU-specific gentoo and Adélie breeding abundance in Area 48, and similar analyses of
