1. Integrated analyses of circumpolar climate interactions and ecosystem dynamics in the Southern Ocean (ICED)

   Abstract:  ICED is a multidisciplinary, international initiative recently launched in response to the increasing need to develop integrated circumpolar analyses of Southern Ocean ecosystems. The long-term goal of ICED is to develop a coordinated circumpolar approach to understand climate

2. On possible influence of continuous krill fishing technology with the use of ‘air-bubbling suspension system’ on ecosystem elements

   Abstract:  It was shown that potential increase in krill fishery in the immediate future, accompanied by introduction of highly intensive fishing and processing technologies call for studying the fishery influence on ecosystem components beyond the framework of traditional investigations of

3. An illustrative management procedure for exploring dynamic feedback in krill catch limit allocations among small-scale management units

   Abstract:  A Management Procedure (MP) approach is proposed to assist in advising regarding the subdivision of the precautionary catch limit for krill among 15 small-scale management units (SSMUs) in the Scotia Sea to reduce the potential impact of fishing on land-breeding predators. The Spatial

4. Managing ecosystem uncertainty: critical habitat and dietary overlap of top-predators in the Ross Sea

   Abstract:  We summarize three types of data in order to increase appreciation among fishery managers of the close spatial and temporal ecological overlaps among top predators in the Ross Sea Shelf Ecosystem (RSShE). This includes data on diet, foraging behavior, and habitat use. Murphy (1995)

5. A compilation of parameters for a krill–fishery–predator model of the Scotia Sea and Antarctic Peninsula

   Abstract:  We describe the compilation and derivation of parameters for use in krill-fishery-predator models of the Scotia Sea – Antarctic Peninsula region. The primary aim is to provide input for the model developed by Watters et al. (2006), which we use to define the required parameters. However,

6. Preliminary report from New Zealand research voyages to the Balleny Islands in the Ross Sea region, Antarctica, January to March 2006

   Abstract:  This paper explains the background and scientific rationale behind New Zealand’s decision to send two separate research voyages to the Balleny Islands, located north of the Ross Sea, in the Antarctic summer of early 2006. The first of these voyages involved a dedicated research

7. A review and update of krill biomass trends in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, using the simplified stochastic wave born approximation

   Abstract:  Using data collected from US AMLR surveys conducted in the South Shetland Islands we review the trends in biomass, size frequency distribution and proportional recruitment of Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba) between 1997 and present. Over the last five years proportional recruitment

8. Last investigations of Ukraine in Antarctica connected with assumed marine protected area

   Abstract:  Description of some biological and ecological investigations of Ukraine in Antarctica in vicinity of Argentine Islands Archipelago are presented. Main activity: investigations of birds populations, krill population, complete meteorological observations, hydrological researches, long-term

9. The state of krill (E. supberba) fisheries in Subareas 48.2 and 48.1 in February–May 2006

   Abstract:  Brief description of scientific observation aboard Ukrainian krill vessel Konstruktor Koshkin in 48.1, 48.2 Subareas in the last fishing season. Author(s):  V.A. Bibik (Ukraine) Title:  The state of krill (E. supberba) fisheries in Subareas 48.2 and 48.1 in February–May 2006 Approval:

10. A nonparametric algorithm to model movement between polygon subdomains in a spatially explicit ecosystem model

    Abstract:  Many modern spatially explicit ecosystem models use modelling subdomains of different shape and size (‘polygons’) to resolve space, and movement of biomass between them forms an important part of the modelling effort. In marine applications, a flow field grid describing the water
