Toward the poles, life on land is increasingly dominated by microorganisms, yet the evolutionary origin of polar microbiomes remains poorly understood. Here, we use metabarcoding of Arctic, sub-Antarctic…
The Southern Ocean Research Partnership (IWC-SORP) is a multi-lateral, non-lethal scientific research programme established in 2009 to improve the coordinated and cooperative delivery of science to the IWC. There are 13 Partners: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, France, Germany, Italy…
Introduction: This document updates the research bibliography of SC/66b/SAN01 presented in 2016. The Southern Ocean Sanctuary (SOS) was established by the Commission in 1994. The area covered by the SOS in combination with the complementary Indian Ocean Sanctuary (IOS) is shown in Figure 1.
Contracting governments to the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling are required to provide an annual National Progress Report summarising cetacean related activities annually.
Blue whale populations each produce distinctive repeated songs that are stable over periods of decades, and can be used to identify where each population resides and moves. In the Southern Hemisphere and northern Indian Ocean, there are at least seven distinct populations based on their songs…
The overall goal of the SC Communication Initiative is to develop new communication tools and material tailored to IWC Commissioners as the principal audience. This material is also likely to have value for other policy makers, non-government organisations, government organisations in non?
Antarctic krill are a fundamental component of Southern Ocean ecosystems and perturbations to krill populations have ramifications for the entire ecosystem. Krill are fished across the Southern Ocean and sustainable management of this fishery is a high priority for the Australian Government.
INTRODUCTION The Commission and the Scientific and Conservation Committees have adopted numerous recommendations over the years for strengthening engagement with other organisations. The IWC Secretariat, in collaboration with members of the SC and CC have been working to carry out these mandates…
Introduction … Miller and Kelly (2023) provides some guidelines on spatial model-based estimation of abundance (and its uncertainty) from counts of cetaceans obtained using standard distance sampling line transect surveys.
Development of CCAMLR krill fishery management: Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is both abundant and broadly distributed in the Southern Ocean, with most of its life history stages considered important prey items for a wide variety of organisms (Trathan and Hill 2016).
Report submitted to CCAMLR: Leaper, R., Biuw, M., Favero, M, Forster, I., Johnson, C., Kelly, N., Heinemann, D., Hines, E., Landry, S., Mattila, D., Meyer, M., Parker, S., Passadore, C., Reeves, S., Soffker, M., Stimmelmayr, R., Walker, N., 2022.
The scope of this document is model-based estimation of abundance (and its uncertainty) from counts of cetaceans obtained using standard distance sampling line transect surveys (e.g., Buckland et al., 2015).
A proof-of-concept study was conducted to explore the viability of automated acoustic detection of upcall vocalisations produced by southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) on their high-latitude Antarctic feeding grounds. The automated acoustic detector used was that of Shiu et al (2020)…
In response to a report of the incidental mortality of three juvenile humpback whales in the Antarctic … krill trawl fishery in Subareas 48.1 and 48.2 during the 2021 calendar year, SC-CAMLR reconvened … the Working Group on Incidental Mortality Associated with Fishing (WG-IMAF).
