Guidelines for fisheries-directed research addressing the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area Research and Monitoring Plan S. Parker and A. Dunn
Abstract:
Implementation of the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area (CM 91-05) and the associated Research and Monitoring Plan (SC-CAMLR XXXVI-20) requires multidisciplinary research efforts by Members. Some of the research required will necessarily be implemented through CCAMLR approved fisheries research programmes proposed under CM 24‑01. Although considerable fisheries research is already underway Read More

Materials on biodiversity in Subareas 48.6 and 48.5 in the frame of the Weddell Sea MPA Delegation of the Russian Federation
Abstract:
It is shown that the proposals for the establishment of an MPA in the Weddell Sea should be complemented by information on the commercial potential and future rational use for dominant fish species and krill in Subareas 48.5 and 48.6.

Оn seasonal and interannual dynamics of ice conditions in the Weddell Sea and its relation to the WSMPA planning Delegation of the Russian Federation
Abstract:
The proposed boundaries of the Weddell Sea MPA (WSMPA) include the significant area of 1.3 million km². It is shown that the WSMPA boundaries should be revised in compliance with sea-ice conditions for vessel navigation being a fundamental factor for the successful completion of assigned research tasks in designated areas.

Candidate baseline data for ecosystem indicators in the Ross Sea region A. Dahood and G.M. Watters
Abstract:
The research and management plan for the Ross Sea region MPA is currently under development. That plan will identify key research questions that aid in assessing the MPA’s efficacy in achieving its objectives. It may be helpful to have an agreed set of baseline data for key species which indicate the current status of marine ecosystems in the Ross Sea region. These data could then be used as Read More

Developing the risk assessment framework for the Antarctic krill fishery in Area 48 P. Trathan, V. Warwick-Evans, E. Young, S. Thorpe, E. Murphy, N. Kelly, S. Kawaguchi and D. Welsford
Abstract:
Recognising that CM 51-07 is scheduled to lapse at the end of the 2020/2021 fishing season, we outline a plan of work to engage with the CCAMLR community to move towards refining the krill risk assessment framework. WG-EMM has previously offered advice about how the risk assessment might be improved for the future. We therefore indicate key areas for community engagement to help develop the Read More

An experimental approach for the Antarctic krill fishery: advancing management and conservation through the use of Krill Reference Areas and Krill Fishing Areas P.N Trathan and O.R. Godø
Abstract:
We review reasons why the fishery for Antarctic krill is challenging to manage and consider ways in which management could be improved, whilst responsible and precautionary harvesting continues. We propose an experimental framework to help improve the scientific basis for management. This framework will enhance conservation, and increase ecological understanding by using an experimental Read More

Hierarchical monitoring plans to determine patterns of change in the Antarctic Marine Ecosystem P. Trathan
Abstract:
In this paper we drawn comparison between the existing CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Programme (CEMP) and plans to develop Research and Monitoring Plans for Marine Protected Areas. We recall the outcomes of the CEMP Review in 2003, and as a result highlight the intensity of monitoring required to detect change and to ascribe cause. We therefore propose that CCAMLR build even stronger links with Read More

Predator trophic hotspots in the Indian sector of the subantarctic Southern Ocean: how do they overlap with marine protected areas? M. O’Toole, S. Sergi, A. Baudena, C. Cotté, C. Bost, C. Guinet, H. Weimerskirch, M.A. Hindell, P. Koubbi and F. d’Ovidio
Abstract:
The Indian sector of the subantarctic region hosts large populations of top predators which are listed at various level of vulnerability by the IUCN and which are monitored by several bio-logging programs since the late 1980s. Here we analyze more than 800 individuals from seven different pelagic species of albatross, penguins and pinnipeds. Merging our analysis with previous results, we find Read More

Abundance and richness of key Antarctic seafloor fauna correlates with modelled food availability J. Jansen, N.A. Hill, P.K. Dunstan, J. McKinlay, M.D. Sumner, A.L. Post, M.P. Eléaume, L.K. Armand, J.P. Warncock, B.K. Galton-Fenzi and C.R. Johnson
Abstract:
Most seafloor communities at depths below the photosynthesis zone rely on food that sinks through the water column. However, the nature and strength of this pelagic–benthic coupling and its influence on the structure and diversity of seafloor communities is unclear, especially around Antarctica where ecological data are sparse. Here we show that the strength of pelagic–benthic coupling along Read More

A principal concern with implementing marine protected areas (MPAs) is the displacement of fishing effort from closed areas, which may result in new and unexpected consequences for both fisheries and the ecosystem. Understanding such outcomes is critical in the Southern Ocean, where MPAs are actively being discussed for achieving a range of protection and sustainable use objectives. Here, we Read More
