Managing ecosystem uncertainty: critical habitat and dietary overlap of top-predators in the Ross Sea
Abstract: We summarize three types of data in order to increase appreciation among fishery ... managers of the close spatial and temporal ecological overlaps among top predators in the Ross Sea Shelf ... whale, though other species might also soon be exploited in the Ross Sea region. In addition to those ... two predators we also include other trophic competitors and (and in two cases predatory species ...

Analysis of krill trawling positions in the area north of the South Shetland Islands (Antarctic Peninsula area) from 1980/81 to 1998/99
Abstract: Positions of commercial krill operation for 1980/81 season to 1998/99 season in the ... latitudes where operations were undertaken. Operations tended take place in the north in early 1980s, but ... from mid-1980 onwards, they tended to happen in the south, with exceptions of 1994/95 and 1995/96 ... seasons. Predicted latitudes of operation significantly correlated with Salp densities in the Elephant ...

Interannual variation in the diet of the Antarctic prion Pachyptila desolata at South Georgia
regurgitated by adult birds during five breeding seasons at Bird Island, South Georgia. In all years the diet ... . Antarctic krill Euphausia superba was the dominant prey item in three years and was replaced by calanoid ... copepods, especially Rhincalanus gigas and Calanoides acutus, in two years of low krill abundance ... . Differences in the prey species taken and observations of foraging behaviour suggest that in years of low ...

Chinstrap penguins alter foraging and diving behaviour in response to krill size
Abstract: Penguins may exhibit plasticity in their diving and foraging behaviors in response to ... changes in prey availability. Chinstrap penguins are dependent predators of Antarctic krill in the Scotia ... Sea region. Both the sizes of krill found in penguin diets and acoustic estimates of krill biomass ... have fluctuated in recent years. We therefore examined the diet of chinstrap penguins at Livingston ...
