AKCP presentation details importance of dispersing the krill fishery

This presentation by the Antarctic Krill Conservation Project during the recent annual meeting of the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) describes how krill trawlers have learned to target aggregations of krill, just like the Antarctic species that rely upon krill as a major food source. Subdividing krill catch limits so that regulations are placed on trawlers to prevent them from overlapping so heavily with foraging areas would provide interim protection for predators such as chinstrap penguins as catches of krill increase.
