SC-CAMLR-VII/BG/22 More Info	Statistical problems in krill stock hydroacoustic assessments United States of America Abstract: Two primary issues are at question for hydroacoustic assessments of krill, The first is the methods applied to establish biomass in a survey area and the second is the improvement in accuracy of target-strength measurements. In the case of statistical methods, there are no clear guidelines for deciding what method is most appropriate, this is made even more difficult by the fact that most Read More Submitted By: Admin Admin (CCAMLR Secretariat) Request Meeting Document
SC-CAMLR-VII/BG/23 More Info	Results of fish stock assessment survey, South Georgia, December 1987 – January 1988 United States of America Abstract: Commercial fish stocks around South Georgia have been declining since the early 1970's. A survey to monitor these stocks was carried out from December 1987 to January 1988. It complements earlier surveys in the same area and showed that most of the stocks are continuing to decline.

SC-CAMLR-VII/BG/24 More Info	Shifts in the demersal fish community of South Georgia United States of America Abstract: The heavily exploited fish stocks of South Georgia have been declining since the early 1970's. Use of a non-parametric method revealed a significant change in this community from the 1986/87 survey to the 1987/88 survey. This change was the result of reductions in the abundance of Champsocephalus gunnari and Notothenia squamifrons, and the increased presence of Pseudochaenichthys georgianus.

SC-CAMLR-VII/BG/26 More Info	Distribution of phytoplankton in the mixed layer: implication of krill abundance United States of America Abstract: The vertical trajectory of phytoplankton in the Antarctic ocean is modelled as a random walk with a diffusivity derived from a simple Ekman layer model and turbulence theory. The surface mixing layer is shallow, but diffusion is large enough to effect the vertical distribution of phytoplankton in the upper ocean.
