Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is the central prey species in the Southern Ocean food web, supporting the largest and fastest-growing fishery in the region, managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).
The SCAR Krill Expert Group (SKEG) aims to improve the understanding of krill biology and ecology and serve as a link between the scientific krill community and the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which manages the Antarctic krill fishery.
Estimates of the distribution and density of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana, 1850) were derived from a large-scale survey conducted during the austral summer in the Southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean and across the Scotia Sea in 2018–19, the '2018–19 Area 48 Survey'.
The annual meeting of the SCAR Krill Action Group (SKAG) was held online from 7 to 11 March 2022 at 1500-1700 UTC as a series of Zoom meetings, and attended by around 60 participants each day. The meeting consisted of SKAG administrative updates…
Here we present preliminary results on krill distribution from data collected from the Norwegian fishing vessel (F/V) Antarctic Endurance during her commercial operation for Antarctic krill in subareas 48.1 and 48.2 during different timings of the year in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
The SCAR Krill Action Group (SKAG) provides a conduit for science to feed into the management of the Antarctic krill fishery, as well a more general forum to promote collaboration, help early career researchers, improve understanding of krill biology and ecology, and facilitate information exchange.

The Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile, is the southernmost albatross breeding ground in the world and holds … globally important numbers of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses. A census in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago has been attempted only once…
Industrial longline fisheries are considered worldwide as the main threat to albatross and … petrel populations, particularly at open oceans. However, inside countries’ EEZ artisanal … fleets account for a significant fishing effort and eventually…
The diet of grey-headed albatrosses at Diego Ramírez was analysed and compared to that of the … sympatric black-browed albatross. Diet composition was inferred from an analysis of prey hard parts present … in 103 chick regurgitates obtained during breeding seasons 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses breed at four known locations in Chile: Islas Diego de Almagro, Islote Evangelistas, Islas Ildefonso and Islas Diego Ramirez.
Black-browed albatrosses breed at four known locations in Chile: Diego de Almagro (15,900 pairs, Lawton et al. 2003), Evangelistas (4,700; Arata et al. 2003), Ildefonso (47,000; this presentation) and Diego Ramirez (55,300; Robertson et al. unpublished). After the Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas…
Chile is a fishery country with important artisanal and industrial longline fleets during the last 30 year. Main fishing resources in southern Chile are Patagonian toothfish, Ling and Austral hake. All these fisheries are suspected to have high seabird mortality.
