1. A preliminary survey on breeding population of Adélie penguins at Cape Hallett in the Ross Sea region, Antarctica

   Abstract:  To develop a long-term ecological research program at a breeding site of Adélie penguins, located in the Northern Victoria Land Coast, the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) carried out a preliminary survey on the population size and foraging trips of penguins at Cape Hallett. All

2. Diving location and depth of breeding chinstrap penguins during incubation and chick-rearing period in King George Island, Antarctica

   Abstract:  Breeding birds can increase their foraging efforts to feed chicks after hatching. We investigated how chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) differ foraging diving behaviors with breeding stages. During incubation and chick-rearing period, from December 2015 to January 2016 on King

3. The Weddell Sea MPA revisited: questions, comments and suggestions

   Abstract:  This paper aims to bring to light specific issues which precluded support by Norway of the Weddell Sea MPA proposal tabled to CCAMLR in 2016 by the delegation of the European Union and its Member States. We present results from Marxan and other analyses conducted for the purpose of

4. Estimating density and biomass of Antarctic krill around South Sheltland Islands using the 2-dB difference method

   Abstract:  The distribution and abundance of krill aggregation inhabiting the Subarea 48.1, which includes the Elephant Island peripheries and the west and south of the South Shetland Island, were estimated using an acoustics survey. Acoustic data were collected with 38 and 120 kHz from April 13 to

5. Progress report of the CEMP Special Fund project to develop an image processing software tool for analysis of camera network monitoring data

   Abstract:  We provide a brief update on the progress of our CEMP Special Fund project ‘Developing an image processing software tool for analysis of camera network monitoring data’. The project was initiated with support from the CEMP Fund in 2015/16. A software programmer has been engaged and is

6. Update on work to estimate krill consumption by flying seabirds in CCAMLR Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2

   Abstract:  We outline progress on current work aimed to improve estimates of flying seabird abundance, and ultimately krill consumption, from land-based breeding bird counts of five species (Antarctic petrel, Cape petrel, southern fulmar, snow petrel and Wilson’s storm petrel) in Divisions 58.4.1

7. Estimating prey consumption of the non-breeder component of an Adélie penguin population

   Abstract:  Estimating the consumption of prey by higher-order predators is a priority for WG-EMM as an element in CCAMLR’s ecosystem-based approach to management for the krill fishery in the Southern Ocean. Previous assessments of prey consumption for seabirds have focussed on breeders using data

8. Dietary studies of Adélie penguins through faecal DNA analysis

   Abstract:  The composition of penguin diet is currently monitored through the A8 CEMP Chick Diet monitoring parameter. The current Standard Method involves stomach lavage to collect the stomach contents of adult birds and sorting the samples to identify prey composition and mass. At WG-EMM-12 it

9. Feeding habits and prey consumption of Antarctic minke whale Balaenoptera bonaerensis in the Indo–Pacific region of the Southern Ocean

   Abstract:  The Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) is the most abundant baleen whale species in the Southern Ocean. Quantitative information on prey consumption of whales is useful to understand their feeding ecology and role in the Antarctic marine ecosystem. The purposes of this

10. The Norwegian SWARM project: from swarming behaviour to trophic interactions: modelling dynamics of Antarctic krill in ecosystem hotspots using behaviour-based models

    Abstract:  Norway is in the process of extending its monitoring efforts in the area around South Orkneys by deploying acoustic moorings in a commercially exploited area. Data gathered from the moorings will be used to parametrise models, in order to gain better understanding of the interaction
