1. At-sea distribution and prey selection of Antarctic petrels and commercial fisheries

   Abstract:  Commercial fisheries may impact marine ecosystems and affect populations of predators like seabirds. In the Southern Ocean, there is an extensive fishery for Antarctic krill Euphausia superba that is projected to increase further. Comparing distribution and prey selection of fishing

2. Atlas of top predators from French Southern Territories in the Southern Indian Ocean

   Abstract:  Penguins, albatrosses, petrels, elephant seals and fur seals are marine top predators that have to come on land to reproduce. Therefore, they are the only marine top predators that can be studied from land base sites, making them the most accessible convenient models to study marine

3. Large-scale oceanographic fluctuations drive Antarctic petrel survival and reproduction

   Abstract:  Polar Regions are experiencing environmental changes at unprecedented rates. ese changes can spread throughout entire food webs from lower trophic levels to apex predators. As many top predators forage over large areas, these indirect e ects may be associated with large-scale patterns of

4. Demographic effects of extreme weather events: snow storms, breeding success, and population growth rate in a long-lived Antarctic seabird

   Abstract:  Weather extremes are one important element of ongoing climate change, but their impacts are poorly understood because they are, by definition, rare events. If the frequency and severity of extreme weather events increase, there is an urgent need to understand and predict the ecological

5. Distribution, density and relative abundance of Antarctic krill estimated by maximum likelihood geostatistics on acoustic data collected during commercial fishing operations

   Abstract:  There is a substantial harvestfor Antarctic krill in the Southern Ocean, butlittle regular scientific monitoring of the resource. Recently, however, the Commission for the Conservation of Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has initialised a process to make use of acoustic data from

6. Using data recorded during commercial krill fishing in Feedback Management

   Abstract:  Feedback Management (FBM) requires adequate data that can be collected with a minimum of extra effort. Traditional survey practice requires a pre determined survey design that support statistical handling of the collected data into stock abundance information. Godø et al. (2015) (WG-EMM

7. Multiyear changes in distribution and abundance of Salpa thompsoni in the Western Antarctic Peninsula region

   Abstract:  The most common and widespread salp in the Southern Ocean is Salpa thompsoni. It is characterized by a circumpolar distribution and its appearance is clearly associated with the occurrence of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). This area of the Southern Ocean is characterized by a

8. Size and stage composition of age class 0 Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the ice-water interface layer during winter/early spring

   Abstract:  The condition and survival of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) strongly depends on sea ice during winter. How krill utilize sea ice depends on several factors such as region and developmental stage. A comprehensive understanding of sea ice habitat use by krill, however, remains

9. Acoustic monitoring and evaluation of krill in the Antarctic ecosystem Bransfield Strait and around Elephant Island during ANTAR XXI and XXII, aboard RV Humboldt, Peru

   Abstract:  Monitoring and hydroacoustic assessment of the distribution and biomass of krill (Euphausia superba) was held on board the BIC Humboldt during scientific campaigns Peru to Antarctica in the austral summer: Antar XXI (15 to 22 February 2013) and Antar XXII (22 to 31 January 2014). The
