The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (the Madrid Protocol) introduces the requirement to plan and conduct activities to avoid or minimise degradation of the wilderness and aesthetic values of Antarctica.
On the surface, the severity of the Antarctic environment is sufficient to account for the injury rates that might occur there. However, it is argued that injury occurrence is the outcome of multiple factors. A number of such factors…
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…
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.
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…
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.
