Effect of line sink rate on albatross mortality in the Patagonian Toothfish longline fishery. CCAMLR Science, 2000 (Ref: 9496)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

An experiment was conducted on an autoline longline vessel to derive a sink rate, and line weighting regime, that would minimise the capture of albatrosses based on knowledge of line sink rates and albatross diving abilities. Sink rates of lines deployed into propeller turbulence…

Diving behaviour of Adelie penguins ( Pygoscelis adeliae ) at Dumont D'Urville, Antarctica: nocturnal patterns of diving and rapid adaptations to changes in sea-ice condition. Polar Biology, 2000 (Ref: 9481)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The diving behaviour of Adelie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae was studied with time-depth recorders at Dumont DUrville, Antarctica, during the breeding seasons in 1995/1996 and 1996/1997. We studied penguins foraging at all breeding stages, in various sea-ice conditions.

Summer microbial ecology off East Antarctica (80-150°E): protistan community structure and bacterial abundance. Deep -Sea Research II, 2000 (Ref: 9500)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present a comprehensive protistan data set for the southern Indian sector of the Southern Ocean, sampled during the Austral summer (January-March) of 1996. Cells from discrete water bottle samples were examined to gain both qualitative and quantitative information on the composition…

Adélie penguin foraging behaviour and krill abundance along the Wilkes and Adélie land coasts, Antarctica. Deep-Sea Research Part II, 2000 (Ref: 9487)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The foraging behaviour of Adélie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae was studied simultaneously at Shirley Island (SI, 110° E) and at Petrel Island (PI, 140° E) in approximate conjunction with the ship-based krill survey conducted on board the RSV Aurora Australis.

Low breeding success of the Adelie penguin at Bechervaise Island in the 1998-99 season. CCAMLR Science, 2000 (Ref: 8849)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This paper describes the diet and foraging behaviour of Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) at Béchervaise Island during 1998-99, a season of low breeding success. Fifty six percent of nests with eggs failed during the three weeks following first hatch. A breeding success of 0.

Seasonal change in foraging areas and dive depths of breeding king penguins at Heard Island. Polar Biology, 1999 (Ref: 9485)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The seasonal variation in the foraging behaviour of king penguins Aptenodytes patagonicus was studied at Heard Island (53°05S, 73°30E) during 1992/93. On seven occasions throughout the breeding cycle…

Polar ocean ecosystems in a changing world. Nature, 2005 (Ref: 12165)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Polar organisms have adapted their seasonal cycles to the dynamic interface between ice and water. This interface ranges from the micrometre-sized brine channels within sea ice to the planetary-scale advance and retreat of sea ice.
