Geographical aspects of utilising resources of krill (Euphausia superba) Makarov, R.R.
Abstract:
This paper presents data on the distribution of E. superba in the Atlantic sector and adjacent waters with an emphasis on subregions lying beyond the current fishing grounds of the Scotia Sea. In a number of subregions on the periphery of the Weddell Gyre (both to the north and south), as well as in the coastal waters of the Antarctic continent, the formation of krill aggregations is variable Read More

The relationship between foraging behaviour and energy expenditure in Antarctic fur seals Boyd, I.L., Arnould, J.P.Y., Speakman, J.R.
Abstract:
By using time-depth recorders to measure diving activity and the doubly-labelled water method to determine energy expenditure, the relationship between foraging behaviour and energy expenditure was investigated in nine Antarctic fur seal females rearing pups. At-sea metablic rate (MR) (mean of 6.34 ± 0.4 W • kg–1; 4.6 times predicted BMR) was positively correlated to foraging trip duration ( Read More

A comparison of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) caught by nets and taken by macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus Brandt): evidence for selection? Croxall, J.P., Hill, H.J., Trathan, P.N., Watkins, J.L.
Abstract:
Using stomach lavage samples from macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus Brandt) breeding at Bird Island, South Georgia and concurrent net samples caught within the penguin foraging range, we examined the potential selection of different length and maturity stages of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superb a Dana). Using Monte Carlo randomised simulation techniques we also determined the Read More

To investigate the role of sea ice cover on penguin populations we used principal component analysis to compare population variables of Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) and chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarctica) penguins breeding on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands with local (from direct observations) and regional (from remote sensing data) sea ice variables. Throughout the study period, the Adélie Read More

The fish diet of black-browed albatross Diomedea melanophrys and grey-headed albatross D. chrysostoma at South Georgia Reid, K., Prince, P.A., Croxall, J.P.
Abstract:
The fish component of the diet of black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses at South Georgia was investigated by intercepting 155 meals from adults arriving to feed chicks during February 1986 and 1994. Fish represented 30% and 72% by mass of the diet of black-browed albatrosses and 14% and 60% by mass of the diet of grey-headed albatrosses in 1986 and 1994 respectively. We determined the Read More

Abstract:
Predator data and exploratory fishing in the Scotia Sea have revealed the presence of cephalopod stocks in the Antarctic Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ). This is a vast, remote region where large epipelagic cephalopods aggregate into highly mobile schools making them difficult to locate and sample. We used satellite tagged predators and shipboard acoustics for coarse and fine scale location of Read More

There is a growing body of evidence that the climate of the Antarctic Peninsula region has been warming over the past 40 years with an associated decreased frequency of winters with extensive sea-ice development. These trends potentially will have a major impact on the structure and function of the Antarctic marine ecosystem. In the Antarctic Peninsula region winter sea-ice coverage is a major Read More

Abstract:
In January-March 1996 a hydroacoustic survey for Antarctic krill was conducted in CCAMLR Division 58.4.1 for the purposes of estimating overall biomass (B0).

Calibration of echo sounders for fish stock assessment are commonly performed using the standard sphere method (Johannesson and Mitson, 1983; Simmonds et al., 1984). To determine the accuracy of the method, direct measurements of target strength (TS) were made of three standard spheres (Copper (Cu) - 23.0 mm and tungsten carbide (WC) - 33.0 mm and 38.1 mm).

Detailed distribution of krill fishing around South Georgia Parkes, G., Everson, I., Trathan, P.N., Murphy, E.J.
Abstract:
The distribution of kri!! harvesting effort and associated catch rates has previously only been available to the scientific community in the form of sub-area or fine-scale(0.5 ° latitude by 1 ° longitude) recorded statistics. Earlier analyses of these data have shown this was a shelf-break fishery over much of the Scotia Sea. Although these statistics give a general idea of where the fishery Read More

Hatching season and growth of Pleuragramma antarcticum larvae near the Antarctic peninsula in austral summer 1993/94 Cha, S.S., Lee, T.W., Kim, S.
Abstract:
Hatching season and larval growth of Pleuragramma antacticum in the water off Antarctic Peninsula were determined by the examination of growth increments in otoliths. The samples were collected by Bongo plankton net or MOCNESS from December 1993 through January 1994. P. antacticum was predominated (54 inds. out of 77 fish larvae) in ichthyoplankton samples, and occurred mainly in cold water of Read More

Extension to the krill-predator modelling exercise Thomson, R.B., Butterworth, D.S.
Abstract:
The krill-predator modelling calculations of Thomson and Butterworth (1995) are extended to take account of a number of the suggestions made at the 1995 meeting of the CCAMLR Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management. The resilience of the Antarctic fur seal population to krill harvesting is found to be strongly dependent on the estimate of the maximum annual growth rate (R) which Read More

Modeling the growth dynamics of Antarctic krill Lascara, C.M., Hofmann, E.E.
Abstract:
A time-dependent, size-structured, bioenergetically-based model was developed to examine the growth dynamics of Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba. A system of coupled, ordinary differential equations was developed to describe the growth of krill between 2 and 60 mm. The metabolic processes included in the model were ingestion, assimilation efficiency, a baseline respiration. respiratory Read More

The foraging range of Adelie penguins – implications for CEMP and interactions with the krill fishery Rodary, D., Thomson, R., Tremont, R., Lawless, R., Gardner, H., Wienecke, B., Clarke, J.R., Kerry, K.R., Corsolini, S., Eberhard, S.
Abstract:
This paper presents a summary of the foraging locations of the Ad6lie penguin at 7 widely spaced locations along the coast of Eastern Antarctica between 55°E near Enderby Land and 175°E in the Ross Sea region. Birds feeding chicks regularly travel 100-120km offshore to the continental shelf and return with krill. The pattern of foraging is similar between sites. The potential for overlap with Read More

Evaluation of the krill stock in Subarea 48.3, June–August 1995 Bibik, V.A.
Abstract:
On the ground of trawling of Ukrainian vessels made near the South Georgia from 16 June till 15 August 1995 peculiarities of krill distribution, their characteristics including time stability (tolerance), are examined, calculations of biomass and krill commercial concentrations values are given.
Interannual changes in some indices of krill fishing Resources in this subarea from 1985 till Read More
