3. Proposal for a krill biomass survey for krill monitoring and management in CCAMLR Division 58.4.2-East

   Abstract:  Australia plans to conduct a krill biomass survey in Division 58.4.2 East during 23 January to 25 March 2021. The survey will estimate krill biomass with a view to update the precautionary catch limit for krill. A krill observatory mooring system will also be deployed during the survey

4. Density and abundance estimates of baleen whales recorded during the 2019 DY098 cruise in the Scotia Sea around South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands

   Abstract:  We use cetacean sightings data collected from the northern and eastern Scotia Arc (CCAMLR Subareas 48.3 and 48.4) during the 2018/19 international synoptic krill survey to provide preliminary density and relative abundance estimates for humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), fin

5. Preliminary report on the South Sandwich Island research cruise by RRS Discovery (DY098) in January-February 2019

   Abstract:  This paper describes the structure and preliminary results of the research cruise to investigate the marine pelagic ecosystem around the South Sandwich Islands in the austral summer of 2019. The research cruise consisted of a large scale acoustic survey, following track lines established

6. Advances are urgently needed in providing regular estimates of krill stock status based on the available data

   Abstract:  CCAMLR currently manages the krill fishery in subareas 48.1 to 48.4 using an arbitrary measure (the trigger level) which was established in 1991 and is “not related to the status of the krill stock”. At the same time, CCAMLR recognises that “advances are urgently needed” specifically

7. Evidence of change to the environment, ecosystem and fishery within Area 48 indicates the need for continued precaution

   Abstract:  CCAMLR manages the krill fishery in Area 48 using a catch limit (the trigger level) which was established in 1991 based on the maximum catches reported for each subarea. Since that time the ecosystem has undergone rapid environmental change. Several studies suggest that krill numerical

8. Towards the development of Marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (mIBAs) for penguins in Antarctica – an update on progress

   Abstract:  Our study area encompasses all CCAMLR MPA Planning Domains contiguous to mainland Antarctica. We present the preliminary marine Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (mIBAS) for penguins. A total of 64 definitive sites were identified as IBAs We present a systematic overview of the
