Sewage discharge into near-shore marine ecosystems is one of the most common forms of contamination that occurs in Antarctica today, and is likely to impact on the biota living in these habitats. In this study the morphological responses of four species of Abatus heart urchins (A. philippii, A.
As zooplankton is an important food source for consumers, and a major source of recruits to the benthic community, impacts on sensitive zooplankton communities have the potential to significantly alter nearshore marine ecosystems in Antarctica.
Understanding the sensitivity of Antarctic organisms to metal exposure is essential … for developing Antarctic specific Environmental Guidelines to manage contamination risks. For … the first time…

Zooplankton species are an important component of the Antarctic coastal ecosystem. The strongly seasonal sea ice cover and phytoplankton availability has driven a modification in the life cycles of many Antarctic zooplankton species. In general only one cycle is completed each year.
Despite the widespread use and transport of fuels in Antarctica, there is very limited data available on the behaviour and weathering of these fuels in the Antarctic marine environment. The potential impacts of a fuel spill on marine biota are largely unknown.
