    Resumen

    At WG-EMM-09 the Working Group noted that the photographic method used in WG-EMM-09/38 could be incorporated as a modification of CEMP Standard Method A3 (penguin breeding population size). This paper reviews aspects of Methods A3a, A3b and related A9 (breeding chronology) in the most recent version of the CEMP Standard Methods that are relevant to this proposal, outlines some difficulties in the practical application of these Methods, and proposes some general modifications to the Methods to allow greater flexibility in the collection and interpretation of penguin breeding population counts.
