Spatial and temporal operation of the Scotia Sea ecosystem: a review of large-scale links in a krill centred food web
Abstract: The Scotia Sea ecosystem is a major component of the circumpolar Southern Ocean system ... , where productivity and predator demand for prey are high. The eastward-flowing Antarctic Circumpolar ... Current (ACC) and waters from the Weddell–Scotia Confluence dominate the physics of the Scotia Sea ... , manifest by the changing irradiance and sea ice cover, which leads to shorter summers in the south. Summer ...

Spatial distribution of predator/prey interactions in the Scotia Sea: implications for measuring predator/fisheries overlap
Abstract: The measurement of spatial overlap between predators and fisheries exploiting a common ... prey source is dependent upon the measurement scale used and the use of inappropriate scales may ... provide misleading results. Previous assessments of the level of overlap between predators and fisheries ... for Antarctic krill Euphausia superba in the South Shetland Islands have used different measurement ...
