A PRELIMINARY BALANCED TROPHIC MODEL OF THE ECOSYSTEM OF THE ROSS SEA, ANTARCTICA, WITH EMPHASIS ON APEX PREDATORS
Abstract: We report on the development of a mass balanced carbon-budget trophic model of the Ross ... Sea as a step towards investigating ecosystem effects of the fishery for Antarctic toothfish ... (Dissostichus mawsoni). The model has 30 trophic groups representing all the major biota of the Ross Sea. Many ... of the lower trophic level species in the model are grouped by functional role because information is ...

ADDRESSING UNCERTAINTY OVER THE IMPORTANCE OF ANTARCTIC TOOTHFISH AS PREY OF SEALS AND WHALES IN THE SOUTHERN ROSS SEA: A REVIEW
Abstract: An uncertainty heretofore has existed over the importance of Antarctic toothfish ... (Dissostichus mawsoni) as prey of top predators in the Ross Sea. We reviewed the literature to assess the ... relative weight that should be given to direct, observational evidence of predator diet composition, as ... opposed to indirect evidence from scat and biochemical analysis. As a result of this assessment, it is ...

Swimming speed and allocation of time during the dive cycle of Antarctic fur seals
Abstract: During sustained bouts of diving, predators like fur seals may adjust the time they ... between dives. To examine this, swimming speeds and the time allocated to different parts of the dive ... foraging at sea. Mean swimming speeds during diving ranged from 1.32 to 1.99 ms-1 and 90% of diving ... swimming speeds within individuals were between 1 and 2.5 ms-1. This represented a narrower range of speed ...

Possible effects of different levels of fishing on krill on predators - some initial modelling attempts
Meeting of the CCAMLR's WG-Kril1 and WG-CEMP in 1992 to address this issue. First. estimates are made ... of the parameters of predator survival rates as functions of krill abundance, by considering a krill ... . Computations based on this model indicate that variability in the annual recruitment of krill results in ... . However, the analyses also raise a number of questions about the proper interpretation of the available ...
