1. Consumption estimates for male Antarctic fur seals at the South Orkney Islands during the post mating migration

   Abstract:  The estimates of fur seal consumption of krill in subareas 48.1 to 48.3 which have been used in ecosystem modelling and CCAMLR’s risk assessment approach, are based on the distribution of fur seal breeding populations. Fur seal breeding colonies south of 60 o have remained relatively

2. Acoustic manual for the krill synoptic survey in 2019

   Abstract:  The previously presented document at the 2018 ASAM WG meeting (ASAM-18-07) described a design and plans for a synoptic krill acoustic survey in CCAMLR area 48 in 2019. The survey involves the collaborative efforts of Norway, Association of Responsible Krill fishing companies (ARK:

3. Integrating Climate and Ecosystem Dynamics in the Southern Ocean (ICED) programme: Preliminary report of the ICED–CCAMLR Projections Workshop, 5 to 7 April 2018

   Abstract:  Climate change will alter the structure and functioning of Southern Ocean ecosystems and affect the ecosystem services they provide. The impacts of climate change will require development of conservation and management strategies that anticipate and adapt to potential changes in krill

4. Influence of krill availability on humpback whale breeding success

   Abstract:  The abundance of the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has been declining in the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), probably as a consequence of the effects of the considerable increase in the sea surface temperature observed in the region. Thus, the performance (reproduction and

5. Climate change impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptations: Southern Ocean marine fisheries

   Abstract:  • The Antarctic region is characterized by complex interaction of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change that produce high levels of variability in both physical and biological systems, including impacts on key fishery taxa such as Antarctic krill. • The impact of

6. CEMP data inventory/summary and updated spatial analysis of Area 48

   Abstract:  This paper reports on available CEMP data and details of use as a guide for CEMP-related analyses, including an update on CEMP metadata available on the CCAMLR GIS and as hosted on the NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). CEMP data submissions for the 2017/18 season are detailed

7. Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean – Brief Report, June 2018

   Abstract:  A Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean (MEASO) is a quantitative assessment of the status and trends of habitats, species and food webs in different regions.  It aims to provide a common foundation for all end-users on which science can be developed, and policies and

8. “Sailbuoy for krill” – a concept for autonomous commercial and scientific monitoring of the krill fishing in Antarctica

   Abstract:  Science based management of krill suffers from limitation of time-space information in distribution dynamics. Similarly, the industry burns unnecessary amounts of oil in long range searching of fishable biomass due to lack of density distribution information. In this paper, we

9. Protocols for trawl sampling, recording of biological data, and hydrography for the 2019 International synoptic krill survey in Area 48

   Abstract:  Experience gained through participation in international programmes like BIOMASS and the CCAMLR 2000 Survey has demonstrated that standardization of equipment and methods is one of the most crucial steps for any successful work during the field sampling period and later analytical work.

10. Abundance and trends of Type B killer whales (Orcinus orca) around the western Antarctic Peninsula

    Abstract:  The western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is warming rapidly and we need to understand the impact of these physical changes on the marine ecosystem. The WAP is surrounded by a complex marine food web involving a number of predator and prey populations, and empirical data on abundance and
