Morphological and growth responses of Abatus heart urchins to sewage contamination at Davis Station, East Antarctica Master of Antarctic Science Thesis, University of Tasmania, Australia, 2013 (Ref: 15391)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

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.

Sensitivities and response time of three Antarctic marine copepods to metal exposure AMSA-NZMSS 2012 Conference, Hobart, Australia, 1-5 July 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15364)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

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.

The Coastal Zooplankton Community of Davis Station, East Antarctica, and its response to Diesel Fuel Pollution Third Australian National Network in Marine Science Conference: Marine science in tropical, temperate and southern oceans, Perth, Australia, 29 November–1 December 2011, 2011 (Ref: 15369)
Category 3: Poster

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.

Predicting the weathering of a fuel spill in Antarctic waters Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) Australasia 3rd conference, Melbourne, Australia, 1–3 October 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15330)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

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.
