The stock assessment model for the Antarctic krill fishery is a population model operating on
daily timesteps, which permits modeling within‐year patterns of some population dynamics …

Increased knowledge about marine mammal seasonal distribution and species assemblage
from the South Orkney Islands waters is needed for the development of management …

We consider how the ongoing recovery of baleen whale populations requires improved
understanding when managing the largest commercial fishery in the Southern Ocean, the …

Many populations of southern hemisphere baleen whales are recovering and are again
becoming dominant consumers in the Southern Ocean. Key to understanding the present …

Antarctica is experiencing rapid and complex change, and it is critical to have a better
