3. Preliminary report on krill survey off the coast of East Antarctica (Enderby Land to Prydz Bay) February-March 2015

   Abstract:  The Australian Antarctic research and resupply vessel, RV Aurora Australis, was directed to undertake an opportunistic marine science survey for 17 days during 21 February to 10 March 2015 using ship time that became available due to unexpectedly favourable ice conditions for Mawson

4. Chiller killers – first steps towards identifying krill pathogens

   Abstract:  Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba) is a ‘keystone species’ in the Southern Ocean providing the main source of food for many taxa high in the food chain such as baleen whales, penguins and seals. Despite its ecological and economic importance, research into krill and other crustacean

5. Why does it necessary to consider krill flux for developing the feedback management strategy for krill fishery in the Area 48?

   Abstract:  The authors discussed the necessity to investigate krill flux for estimating the local harvest rates-indicators that could be used to reveal the potential risk of the fishery development. Estimates of krill flux factors in Subarea 48.3 based on the Soviet/Russian scientific observations

6. Continuation in the 2015/16 season of the research plan initiated in 2012/13 for stocks of Dissostichus spp. in Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2

   Abstract:  In the 2012/13 fishing season Spain began implementing a multi-annual Research Plan for Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2 in order to estimate local biomass of Dissostichus spp. by means of two methods: depletion and tagging. In 2014/15 the vessel was unable to conduct the proposed research

7. Using vessel acoustics to detect diving patterns of krill foraging predators automatically: Development of a novel method for quantifying impact of krill fishing on seals and penguins

   Abstract:  The aim of this work was to assess the possibilities of automatically generating a dataset of dive behaviour of air-breathing predators, based on acoustic data from a monitoring survey and from commercial krill fishing operations. Our results documents that some form of automatic

8. Special features of the current krill fishery dynamics in the Southern Atlantic (Subareas 48.1, 48.2 and 48.3) during 2008-2014

   Abstract:  The current state of the krill fishery in the Area 48 during 2008- 2014 was analyzed in terms of catches, CPUE, catch per haul, fishing efforts (hours fished) and fishing vessel locations for traditional and continuous fishing methods. The CCAMLR fishery statistics was used. Summarized

9. Updating the Antarctic krill biomass estimates for CCAMLR Subareas 48.1 to 48.4 using available data

   Abstract:  We present a novel index of Antarctic krill biomass in CCAMLR subareas 48.1 to 48.4, based on data from scientific nets and covering the years between 2000 and 2011. The annual biomass variation was significant (CV=73%) but no systematic change in krill biomass was evident during the
