WG-EMM-98

The CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program uses indices derived from data on indicator species and the environment collected by standard methods within the three integrated study regions of the Convention Area. Standardised index values are re-calculated each year as new data become available. Trends and anomalies are presented for data at hand.

The fishery-foraging model of Agnew and Phegan (1995) was reviewed by the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management and its Subgroup on Statistics in 1997. The review found that the index calculated in that model did not directly measure overlap between penguin foraging demands and the krill fishery in waters around the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula, but rather Read More

There have been numerous human intrusions in the Antarctic Peninsula and west of the Peninsula. The region is where many Antarctic research stations are situated, and also where the bulk of Antarctic shipboard tourism takes place. A brief summary of this human history in Antarctica reveals a wide range of real and possible disturbances. Potential impacts from human activities continue to exist Read More

In 1997 it was 30 years from the moment of launching YugNIRO fisheries studies in the Antarctic.
Two essential points should be emphasized in the ideology and methodology of the studies carried out. Firstly, complex monitoring is their basis: in addition to the determination of the commercial potential of fish species and krill, study of the Antarctic ecosystem with its non-biological part Read More
