1. Temporal variation in Antarctic sea-ice: analysis of a long-term fast-ice record from the South Orkney Islands

   Abstract:  Detection of climate-induced change in marine ecosystems requires a knowledge of the underlying variability of the environment. This paper uses a range of datasets to investigate the interannual variability in Southern Ocean sea-ice dynamics. We present the first analysis of a series of

2. The diet of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps at Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands, as reflected by the analysis of stomach contents collected throughout the breeding season

   Abstract:  The analysis of twenty nine stomach contents collected in a colony close to Pirie Peninsula, South Orkney Islands, from 2 January to 18 February 1995, showed that fish were by far the main prey of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps, followed by octopods, decapods and gammarids.

3. The diet of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps during summer at Nelson Island, Antarctica: temporal variations and consumption rates

   Abstract:  One hundred and thirty nine stomach contents of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps were sampled at Nelson Island, Antarctica, between 1 December 1994 and 2 February 1995. Fish were by far the main prey, followed by octopods, gammarids, euphausiids and polychaetes. Notothenia

4. New corrections factors for the quantification of fish represented in pellets of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps

   Abstract:  A comparative analysis was carried out on stomach contents and pellets (=regurgitated cast) of the blue-eyed shag or imperial cormorant Phalacrocorax atriceps collected throughout the breeding season at Nelson Island, South Shetland Islands. This allowed to estimate correction factors

5. A methodological proposal to monitor changes in coastal fish populations by the analysis of pellets of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps

   Abstract:  A proposal to monitor changes in coastal fish populations is presented in this document. The methodology considered is based in the analysis of regurgitated pellets of the blue-eyed shag Phalacrocorax atriceps. The fundaments of the proposal as well as the methods tested and the steps

6. Diet of cape petrel, Daption capense, during late incubation and chick rearing period, at Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands, Antarctica

   Abstract:  The diet of Cape petrel was investigated on Mossman Hills, Laurie Island, South Orkney Islands in January-February 1995. Twenty stomach contents were sampled by a water offloading method, during late incubation and chick-rearing period. The analysis of the samples showed that Euphausiids

8. Importance of myctophid fish distributions for formation of foraging areas of chinstrap penguins and Antarctic fur seals at Seal Island

   Abstract:  Shipboard tracking study of breeding chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) and Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) at Seal Island were conducted to identify and evaluate their foraging areas in late December 1994 (Leg I) and late January 1995 (Leg II). Leg I and Leg II
