1. Trophic relationships among Southern Ocean copepods and krill: some uses and limitations of a stable isotope approach

   The use of stable isotopes to study food webs has increased rapidly, but there are still some uncertainties in their application. We examined the delta(15)N and delta(13)C values of Antarctic […]

2. Feeding and energy budgets of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba at the onset of winter. II. Juveniles and adults

   The overwintering success of Euphausia superba is a key factor that dictates population size, but there is uncertainty over how they cope with the scarcity of pelagic food. Both nonfeeding […]

3. Development of Baltic Sea zooplankton in the presence of a toxic cyanobacterium: a mesocosm approach

   Cyanobacteria blooms are common in the Baltic Sea and are considered to be a poor food source and sometimes toxic to zooplankton. Most experiments demonstrating harmful effects have been short-term […]

4. Feeding and energy budgets of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba at the onset of winter. I. Furcilia III larvae

   Physiological condition and feeding behavior of furcilia larvae were investigated in autumn (April 1999) in the southwestern Lazarev Sea prior to the critical overwintering period. Furcilia stage III (FIII) larvae […]

5. Seasonal differences in citrate synthase and digestive enzyme activity in larval and postlarval Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba

   Antarctic krill maintain large population sizes despite dramatic seasonal fluctuations in food availability, but the mechanisms for this are still debated. The aim of this study was to compare seasonal […]

6. Ammonium regeneration by Antarctic mesozooplankton: an allometric approach

   Given the importance of copepods in the Southern Ocean food web, there are few assessments of their N budgets or their role in regenerating N. In this study we measured […]

7. Identifying patterns in the diet of mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) at South Georgia using bootstrapped confidence intervals of a dietary index

   Ontogenetic, inter-annual and regional variations in diet were investigated for mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari, in three successive summer seasons around South Georgia. Stomach contents from 2239 C. gunnari (130-560 mm […]

8. Revised estimates of the area of the South Georgia and Shag Rocks shelf (CCAMLR Subarea 48.3)

   A new South Georgia Bathymetric Dataset (SGDB) was compiled from a variety of primary sources including multi-beam swath bathymetry. Sea floor area (km(2)

9. Biology and distribution of South Georgia icefish (Pseudochaenichthys georgianus) around South Georgia and Shag Rocks

   Pseudochaenichthys georgianus is a member of the unique Channichthyidae family of fishes, which lack haemoglobin. The distribution, length-frequency and summer diet are described from 14 bottom trawl surveys undertaken in […]

10. Recruitment and body size in relation to temperature in juvenile Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) at South Georgia

    Recruitment variability in juvenile Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides), a commercially important, deepwater nototheniid fish, was examined at the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia, South Atlantic. Data from 13 demersal trawl […]

11. Egg development, hatching rhythm and moult patterns in Paralomis spinosissima (Decapoda: Anomura: Paguroidea: Lithodidae) from South Georgia waters (Southern Ocean)

    Larval release, hatching rhythms and moult patterns were examined in a captive population of the subantarctic lithodid, Paralomis spinosissima from the South Georgia and Shag Rocks region. Larvae hatched throughout […]

12. Is the attempt to estimate the biomass of Antarctic fish from a multi-species survey appropriate for all targeted species’ Notothenia rossii in the Atlantic Ocean sector – revisited

    Notothenia rossii was the first target species in Southern Ocean fisheries. The species was already heavily fished at the beginning of the 1970s. The closure of the fishery for this […]
