Start year 2016 End year 2019 Funding (€) € 571,112 Website NA Summary The planned work on krill stock research will focus on developing the German contribution to feedback management for the regulation of Antarctic krill fisheries under CCAMLR. These scientific studies are immediately the basis for a decision support of the BMEL. In addition to the annual participation in CCAMLR committee meetings and the reporting to the BMEL as well as the transmission of interim results from the project, which could serve as a basis for discussion in CCAMLR meetings, and the preparation of the annual interim report, the further work plan in the project is as follows: 2016: Establishment of a krill stock database, based on krill working groups within CCAMLR for CCAMLR issues; collection of existing literature data on the adaptability of krill, which will be used for the preparation of a feedback management proposal; method comparison for the collection and evaluation of krill stock data using acoustic measurement techniques in the CCAMLR Acoustics Group at the Fisheries Institute in Bergen, Norway. 2017: Evaluation of the data from the literature research for the development of a feedback management proposal; Introduction to the calculations for the calibration of the acoustic data sets for the krill inventory in the CCAMLR Acoustics Group at the Fisheries Institute in Bergen, Norway, in preparation for the planned expedition in February-April 2018; Practical training on FS Polarstern for the calibration of the acoustic measuring instrument; Preparation of the expedition. 2018: Expedition for krill stock research; evaluation of the sample material at the AWI and the acoustic data set at the Fisheries Institute in Bergen, Norway; preparation of a German feedback management proposal for submission to CCAMLR. 2019: Newly collected data are fed into the database and the final project report is written.
