Managing fisheries effects on marine food webs in Antarctica: trade-offs among harvest strategies, monitoring, and assessment in achieving conservation objectives. Bulletin of Marine Science, 2004 (Ref: 12186)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Harvesting of marine living resources in the Southern Ocean is managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which is widely known for its ecosystem approach to managing fisheries and inclusion of food-web maintenance in the conservation objectives.

Variation in the pigment content and photosynthetic efficiency of sub-Antarctic vascular plant species: Response to Temperature. B.Sc. (Honours) Thesis, University of Wollongong, 2004 (Ref: 12330)
Authors:
Category 3: Thesis, higher degree

Over the past 50 years the sub-Antarctic has experienced increases in temperature and radiation. Little scientific attention has been paid to the ecophysiological response of vascular plant species growing on these islands and it is unclear what impact climate change may have on these species.
