1. On amendments to Conservation Measure 51-07 (2014) dealing with interim distribution of the trigger level in the fishery for Euphausia superba in Statistical Subareas 48.1, 48.2, 48.3 and 48.4

   Abstract:  Taking into account the practice and current state of krill fishery in Area 48, Ukraine proposed to revise the Conservation Measure 51-07 (2014) in order to redistribute the trigger level of catch in 620 000 tonnes between Subareas in Area 48 in a new percentage limits. This revision

2. Changes of population structure in common benthic species of the proposed Stella Creek MPA in the vicinity of the Akademik Vernadsky Station, Galindez Island, Antarctica

   Abstract:  First descriptions of the two proposed MPAs, Stella Creek and Skua Creek, as well as determined their conservation status in accordance with the “A tool to help selecting the appropriate IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) categories and governance types for protected

3. The importance of standardising and validating new methods for CEMP to maintain the robustness of long-term time series

   Abstract:  Recent discussions within WG-EMM have recognised the need for more spatially extensive, non-disturbing monitoring within CEMP against a background of increasingly tight funding for long-term monitoring programs. This recognition has generated interest in developing new methods for CEMP

4. An ecosystem-based management procedure for krill fisheries: a method for determining spatially-structured catch limits to manage risk of significant localised fisheries impacts on predators

   Abstract:  In this paper, we develop an ecosystem-based, precautionary management procedure for krill fisheries which draws together past experience in CCAMLR. It provides an empirical ecosystem assessment model, a decision rule for determining local scale catch limits based on a harvest strategy

5. Antarctic's pelagic ecosystem: how environmental change will affect Salpidae population structure

   Abstract:  Dynamic climate changes have become noticeable in recent decades, especially in the vulnerable region of Western Antarctic. The relatively simple food web of this area relies on krill- Euphausia superba. Presumably as a result of climatic fluctuations, a decrease in the numbers of this

6. UAV for monitoring environmental changes on King George Island (South Shetland Islands) Antarctica: preliminary study on wildlife disturbance

   Abstract:  The importance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in remote sensing is rapidly growing. However, knowledge about their potential impact on wildlife is scant, especially in the Antarctic, where they are a new tool used in ecological research and monitoring.    In this preliminary study we

7. Estimating future krill catches that meet the CCAMLR and alternative decision rules for FAO Subarea 48.1 using an integrated assessment model

   Abstract:  An integrated assessment model for Antarctic krill in FAO Subarea 48.1 that incorporates catch and length-composition data from the krill fishery with biomass indices and length-compositions from research surveys has been developed. The model uses statistical fits to these data to

8. Activity, seasonal site fidelity, and movements of Type-C killer whales between the Ross Sea, Antarctica and New Zealand

   Abstract:  We present definitive evidence, derived from two independent methods (satellite tagging and photo-identification), that TCKW undergo long-distance travel from the southern Ross Sea to New Zealand waters and into subtropical regions (31°-35°S). This not only establishes ecosystem

9. Predation release of Antarctic silverfish (Pleuragramma antarctica) in the Ross Sea

   Abstract:  Between 2001 and 2013 the number of breeding pairs of Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) at breeding colonies in the southern Ross Sea more than doubled from about 235 000 to more than half a million. It has been suggested that predation release of Antarctic silverfish (Pleuragramma
