Antarktis-bibliografi er en database over den norske Antarktis-litteraturen.
Hensikten med bibliografien er å synliggjøre norsk antarktisforskning og annen virksomhet/historie i det ekstreme sør. Bibliografien er ikke komplett, spesielt ikke for nyere forskning, men den blir oppdatert.
Norsk er her definert som minst én norsk forfatter, publikasjonssted Norge eller publikasjon som har utspring i norsk forskningsprosjekt.
Antarktis er her definert som alt sør for 60 grader. I tillegg har vi tatt med Bouvetøya.
Det er ingen avgrensing på språk (men det meste av innholdet er på norsk eller engelsk). Eldre norske antarktispublikasjoner (den eldste er fra 1894) er dominert av kvalfangst og ekspedisjoner. I nyere tid er det den internasjonale polarforskninga som dominerer. Bibliografien er tverrfaglig; den dekker både naturvitenskapene, politikk, historie osv. Skjønnlitteratur er også inkludert, men ikke avisartikler eller upublisert materiale.
Til høyre finner du en «HELP-knapp» for informasjon om søkemulighetene i databasen. Mange referanser har lett synlige lenker til fulltekstversjon av det aktuelle dokumentet. For de fleste tidsskriftartiklene er det også lagt inn sammendrag.
Bibliografien er produsert ved Norsk Polarinstitutts bibliotek.

Understanding the connection between maturity stages and morphology in relation to size selectivity in trawls is essential for assessing the impact of various fishing gear on the population structures of harvested species, their fishing mortality rates, and the efficiency of the gear used. The Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) fishery is the largest in the Southern Ocean by volume, and there is increasing interest in expanding the industry. The krill fishery employs different trawl designs and is not currently subject to technical regulations specifying the types of fishing gear and mesh sizes that can legally be used. There is a need to establish a robust model predicting size selectivity that includes the morphological variation in the population of krill. Male and female Antarctic krill are described with 12 maturity stages, from juveniles to sexually mature adults, each with distinct morphological features. The current study established a morphological description of each individual krill maturity stage to identify and parameterize what determines size selectivity using the FISHSELECT framework. This framework is used to predict size selectivity for each of the different stages in various mesh sizes and openings relevant to the krill fishery, in both actual and virtual populations. The results can be used to assess size selectivity for specific fishing gears and population structures, facilitating more accurate understanding and modeling of the fishery’s impact on the demographic composition of the krill stock.

The fishery for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is the largest by tonnage in the Southern Ocean, and understanding its population dynamics is essential for the sustainable management of this fishery. The standard method for calculating Antarctic krill biomass relies on hydroacoustic survey data and incorporates krill body length data collected concurrently. Traditional scientific acoustic surveys involve manually measuring the body lengths of individual krill caught using fine- meshed nets or trawls along acoustic transects. This work is resource-demanding and could represent a source of human error. To address these challenges, we develop and test an alternative, more automated method for estimating krill body length data by employing an in-trawl stereo camera system. This system collects images that are automatically processed by a custom-trained machine learning model. The results from the machine learning model are then compared to manually measured krill subsampled from the total catch of the corresponding trawl hauls. We demonstrated the ability to extract body lengths from underwater images. However, our results highlighted uncertainties, which we propose addressing by incorporating more advanced camera technology and optimizing the observation section of the small-meshed two-layer krill trawl.

The management strategy for the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) fishery is being revised. A key aim is to spatially and temporally allocate catches in a manner that minimizes impacts to both the krill stock and dependent predators. This process requires spatial information on the distribution and abundance of krill, yet gaps exist for an important fishing area surrounding the South Orkney Islands in the south Scotia Sea. To fill this need, we create a dynamic distribution model for krill in this region. We used data from a spatially and temporally consistent acoustic survey (2011-2020) and year-specific environmental covariates within a two-part hurdle model. The model successfully captured observed spatial and temporal patterns in krill density. The covariates found to be most important included distance from shelf break, distance from summer sea ice extent, and salinity. The northern and eastern shelf edges of the South Orkney Islands were areas of consistently high krill density and displayed strong spatial overlap between intense fishing activity and foraging chinstrap penguins. High mean krill density was also linked to oceanographic features located within the Weddell Sea. Our data suggest that years in which these features were closer to the South Orkney shelf were also years of positive Southern Annular Mode and higher observed krill densities. Our findings highlight existing fishery?predator?prey overlap in the region and support the hypothesis that Weddell Sea oceanography may play a role in transporting krill into this region. These results will feed into the next phase of krill fisheries management assessment.
