    Abstract

    We present a preliminary analysis of data from the krill fishery and sea ice  in traditional fishing grounds in Subareas 48.1 and 48.2, where the current fishery achieves the bulk of the krill catch over the period 1997-2022.  The complex inter-annual and seasonal dynamics of ice conditions were discussed  in context  of developing management schemes for the krill fishery, and in particular for fishery management schemes by subdividing the allowable catch into summer and winter seasons.
