Perfluorinated compounds in muscle tissues of Antarctic toothfish in Division 58.4.1 and 58.4.2 of Antarctic Sea
Abstract: We measured concentrations of 15 perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in muscle tissues of ... Antarctic toothfish (n=113), and investigated accumulation patterns of PFCs in female and male muscles. The ... ng/g ww of median concentration. The main compounds among PFCs were perfluoro-n-hexanoic acid and ... and female. The levels of PFCs in the present study are comparable to those reported in 31 fish ...

The effects of global climate variability in pup production of Antarctic fur seals
-induced changes in the abundance of species in lower trophic levels can cascade up to apex predators by ... depressing vital rates. However, the characteristics and predictability of predator demographic responses ... remain largely unexplored. We investigated the delectability, limits, and nonlinearity of changes in ... autocorrelation created by global climate perturbations; these were identified in time series of monthly averaged ...

Spatial overlap of krill-dependent predators and krill fishery catches and a proposal for subdivision of catch limits in Subarea 48.1
Abstract: Progressing from Stage 1 to Stage 2 of a feedback management strategy requires a better ... understanding of spatial overlap between predators and fishing activity. We provide estimates of the spatial ... in Subarea 48.1. In general, overlap of summer and winter foraging habitats with krill catches in ... might affect the distribution of fishing effort. A comparison of CEMP parameters from two years with ...
