Antarctic and Southern Ocean science is vital to understanding natural variability, the processes that govern global change and the role of humans in the Earth and climate system. The potential for new knowledge to be gained from future Antarctic science is substantial. Therefore…
The Census for Antarctic Marine Life (CAML, IPY Project 53) will investigate the … distribution and abundance of Antarctic marine biodiversity and how it will be affected … by climate change.
Abundance and grazing impacts of krill, salps and herbivorous copepods were investigated in … Antarctic waters along the 1408E meridian, south of Australia, during the summers of 2002 and 2003. North of the Southern Boundary of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (SB-ACC)…
The geographical distribution of protozoan parasite Cephaloidophora pacifica Avdeev (Order … Eugregarininda) associated with Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, was examined in samples collected … from the vicinity of the Antarctic Peninsula, near Syowa Station…
>The Southern Ocean is characterised by the unique Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) which flows eastward uninterrupted around the Antarctic continent. In theory then, the species composition of zooplankton would be expected to be the same in any part of the current…
During every austral summer season, the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) has been conducting routine zooplankton observations with a NORPAC standard net since … 1972 (JARE 14). The NORPAC standard net method seems to be suitable for analyzing … macroscale distributions. However…
Significant changes in zooplankton composition have occurred in various ocean systems in … recent years. These changes can be quite dramatic, occurring within one or two seasons, as … happened with the regime shift in the North Sea and North Atlantic in the late 1980s.
In the mid 1920’s, Sir Alister Hardy developed a radical new method for sampling plankton continuously, rather than taking spot samples using conventional plankton nets. The CPR was first used in Antarctic waters during the 1925-27 Discovery expedition…
Spatio-temporal variability of zooplankton community structure off east Antarctica (90 to 160°E) was studied from 1988 to 1996 based on samples collected by the Japanese icebreaker Shirase. Three community groups with distinctive species compositions were obtained by cluster analysis.
