This paper presents the analysis of Antarctic krill fishery tactics and efficiency using the conventional technique and the continuous pumping system onboard the Maxim Starostin and the In Sung Ho operated in the South Orkney Island region (Subarea 48.2) during the fishing seasons 2008–2009, 2009–2010 and 2010–2011. The analysis revealed advantages and disadvantages of each fishing technique related to fishing efficiency and quality of raw krill caught. The Continuous pumping system was more effective in a favorable fishing situation (dense and stable krill swarms), providing a processing line with a high quality raw krill. The Conventional fishing technique showed comparatively high efficiency of searching operations during unstable fishing situation, despite strong damages of krill in case of high catches. The combined krill fishery, using the Conventional fishing technique and the Continuous pumping system with possibility of rapid change of fishing gears, was recommended for increasing of fishing efficiency
