1. Patterns and processes in the distribution and dynamics of Antarctic krill

   Abstract:  A general framework is presented to develop, test and integrate component models of the distribution and dynamics of Antarctic krill population at various spatial and temporal scales. We suggest that models of increasing complexity be developed iteratively for variability and patchiness

2. Joint Polish/American hydroacoustic survey of Elephant Island in the vicinity of King George Island, 1988

   Abstract:  The hydroacoustic survey found a low krill abundance in most areas covered by last years survey. The total biomass in the vicinity of Elephant Island was estimated from 120 kHz data to be 260 k tons and that in the Bransfield Strait South of King George Island was 39 k tons for a total

3. Statistical problems in krill stock hydroacoustic assessments

   Abstract:  Two primary issues are at question for hydroacoustic assessments of krill, The first is the methods applied to establish biomass in a survey area and the second is the improvement in accuracy of target-strength measurements. In the case of statistical methods, there are no clear

4. Results of fish stock assessment survey, South Georgia, December 1987 – January 1988

   Abstract:  Commercial fish stocks around South Georgia have been declining since the early 1970's. A survey to monitor these stocks was carried out from December 1987 to January 1988. It complements earlier surveys in the same area and showed that most of the stocks are continuing to decline.

5. Acoustic data analysis and models of krill spatial distribution

   Abstract:  Acoustic data obtained on the 4-5 January 1987 aboard the R/V Professor Siedlecki were used in three descriptors of krill spatial aggregation: power spectra for krill biomass fluctuations in space, semivariogram (spatial autocorrelation of krill biomass) and the frequency distribution of

6. Distribution of phytoplankton in the mixed layer: implication of krill abundance

   Abstract:  The vertical trajectory of phytoplankton in the Antarctic ocean is modelled as a random walk with a diffusivity derived from a simple Ekman layer model and turbulence theory. The surface mixing layer is shallow, but diffusion is large enough to effect the vertical distribution of
