CEMP Species ‘Harvested species’ are species which are targeted by commercial fisheries. ‘Dependent species’ are marine predators which consume species targeted by commercial fisheries. They include land-based marine predators such as penguins. ‘Indicator species’ are predator species with a wide geographical distribution and which are believed to reflect changes in the availability of harvested species. CEMP monitors the following species:   Harvested species           Krill Euphausia superba Antarctic krill       Dependent Species           Penguins Pygoscelis adeliae Adélie penguin   Pygoscelis Antarctica chinstrap penguin   Pygoscelis papua gentoo penguin   Eudyptes chrysolophus macaroni penguin       Flying Birds Diomedea melanophrys black-browed albatross   Thalassoica Antarctica Antarctic petrel   Daption capense Cape petrel       Seals Arctocephalus gazella Antarctic fur seal   Lobodon carcinophagus crabeater seal
