1. Adélie penguin diet: a pilot study directly comparing data from stomach flushing with faecal DNA analysis

   Abstract:  The diet composition of key species of penguin is currently monitored as part of the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP). Stomach lavage techniques are used in order to identify prey composition and mass. Analysing prey DNA in faeces may be a useful, less invasive, approach to

2. Update on software development for analysing nest camera images through the CEMP Special Fund

   Abstract:  We provide a brief update on the software developed for assessing nest camera images through the CEMP Special Fund project ‘Developing an image processing software tool for analysis of camera network monitoring data’. This CEMP Special Fund project was initiated in 2015/16 to refine

3. Considerations for CEMP data collection and submission in relation to using nest cameras to monitor surface-nesting colonial seabirds

   Abstract:  We provide an outline of data that can be generated from nest camera images and describe how they relate to the parameters outlined in the CEMP Standard Methods. We discuss where the two are similar, provide comment on nest camera data utility for CEMP, and outline gaps in our assessment

4. CEMP cameras data validation experiment at the Galindez Island gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua) colonies

   Abstract:  We inform on the results of data validation experiment provided for pictures from time lapse cameras of the CEMP camera monitoring project of CCAMLR at Galindez Island gentoo colonies. During the 2017-2018 season biologists winterers at Vernadsky station, situated at Galindez Island,

5. Next steps in development of Marine Protected Area in the Argentine Islands Archipelago water area

   Abstract:  The results of the research aimed at further substantiation and development of the Marine Protected Area in the area of the Ukrainian Antarctic Station Academician Vernadsky are presented. In order to study the structure and biodiversity of benthic communities in the water area of the

6. Are we there yet? Evaluating and reporting progress towards a Representative System of Marine Protected Area across the CAMLR Convention Area

   Abstract:  In 2009, CCAMLR agreed that the establishment of a representative system of marine protected areas (RSMPA) by 2012 was a priority. This assessment shows that the Scientific Committee and Commission can be kept informed of progress towards this goal using a relatively short list of simple

7. An ecological risk assessment of current conservation measures for krill fishing in East Antarctica (CCAMLR Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2)

   Abstract:  Australia is adapting the risk assessment framework used in Area 48 to assess the risks involved in any redevelopment of a commercial krill (Euphausia superba) fishery in CCAMLR Divisions 58.4.1 and 58.4.2, off the coast of East Antarctica, and to evaluate whether the current management

8. Approaches to data collection and analysis for detecting and quantifying functional overlap at the scale of the individual vessell

   Abstract:  Summary Over the past years, the subject of whether there is a functional overlap between the krill fishery and pelagic krill predators has been discussed throughout the SC-CAMLR Working Groups. Specifically, these discussions centre around two key issues: a) whether there are potential

9. High densities of pennatulaceans (sea pens) encountered at sites in the South Orkney Islands (Subarea 48.2): three potential Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems

   Abstract:  High densities of pennatulaceans (Phylum Cnidaria: Order Pennatulacea), a vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) indicator taxa, were encountered at three sites on the northeastern shelf of the South Orkney Islands (Subarea 48.2). The details of these encounters, utilizing occurrence and

10. Characteristics of interannual variation in aggregation and diurnal vertical migration of Antarctic krill at South Georgia during winter

    Abstract:  We elucidated characteristics of interannual variability in density index, recruitment index and diurnal vertical distribution for Antarctic krill in krill fishing grounds (hotspots) at South Georgia during winter based on Japanese krill fishery data during the period 1990-2012. High
