PREFACE

CCAMLR Scientific Abstracts provides a comprehensive record of all scientific papers presented for the consideration of the annual meetings of the CCAMLR Commission and Scientific Committee and of their subsidiary bodies.

This volume is the first in the series and contains abstracts of scientific papers presented in 1992. It corresponds to the Eleventh Meetings of the CCAMLR Commission and the Scientific Committee and is published only in English.

Papers fall into three categories:

(i) Scientific papers submitted for consideration of the meetings, but published elsewhere, for which the full reference and published abstract are given;
(ii) Scientific papers not yet published or not intended for publication, which are listed as “unpublished”; and
(iii) Supplementary scientific papers not intended for publication, for which the title alone is listed.

All abstracts are listed in groups by respective CCAMLR bodies at meetings of which these papers were submitted. Each abstract is preceded with a unique CCAMLR document number, e.g. SC-CAMLR-XI/BG/11 (background document number 11 submitted at the Eleventh Meeting of the Scientific Committee); or WG-Krill-92/8 (document number 8 submitted at the 1992 meeting of the Working Group on Krill).

Unpublished papers must not be cited without written permission of the author(s). Addresses of principal authors are given for this purpose.
