On biogeographic patterns of benthic invertebrate mega fauna on shelf areas of the Southern Ocean Atlantic sector
Abstract: The ideal approach to bioregionalisation of Antarctic and Southern Ocean shelf ... communities incorporates a range of data on physical, environmental and biological properties, as well as the ... interaction of these properties. Here, benthic invertebrate megafaunal communities of shelf habitats within ... the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean were analysed quantitatively from scientific survey trawl ...

Reasons of differences between distribution and density of mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) aggregations in the South Georgia area during summer and autumn periods in different years from the bottom trawl survey data
the largest aggregations of food organisms are concentrated at the beginning of the spring period ... . Icefish concentrations were detected at the periphery of a cyclonic meander or in the centre of the ... anticyclonic circulation formed by the Weddell waters. Confinement of the fish to the boundary of water masses ... between the shelf waters and ACC was also traced. Favourable conditions for formation of dense ...

Foraging strategies of chinstrap penguins at Signy Island, Antarctica: importance of benthic feeding on Antarctic krill
Abstract: Chinstrap penguins Pygoscelis antarctica are one of the major consumers of Antarctic ... trip patterns and diving behaviour of chinstrap penguins breeding at Signy Island, Antarctica, using ... time-depth recorders. Foraging trips of penguins could be divided into 2 groups, short diurnal (7.8 h ... ) and longer overnight (19.9 h) trips, with diurnal trips (74%) being dominant in number (263 out of 355 ...

On possibility of using acoustic method to improve quality of Champsocephalus gunnari biomass estimates in Subarea 48.3
Abstract: An attempt has been made to study icefish as an object of acoustic survey basing on the ... acoustic and biological data obtained by Russian RN ATLANTIDA in the area of South Georgia Island (January ... -February 2000). Estimation of possible target strength values was made by a comparison to TS of other fish ... and physical body properties. There has been proved a comparability of Ch.gunnari length frequencies ...

Analyses of acoustic line-transect data from the waters around South Georgia: estimation of krill (Euphausia superba Dana) biomass
Abstract: A large-scale acoustic survey of zooplankton stocks of the waters around South Georgia ... various definitions of strata. The total biomass in the area of 155 786 km2 was estimated to be 1.8225 x ... 106 t (Coefficient of Variation = 9.5%). This gives an estimate of mean density throughout the region ... of 11.7 t km-2. Although the estimate of the mean is not sensitive to the definition of strata, the ...

The Role of Fish as Predators of Krill (Euphausia superba) and Other Pelagic Resources in the Southern Ocean
number of food studies were conducted. Currently, the best estimates of krill consumption by fish are 23 ... – 29. 106 tonnes of krill and other pelagic prey taken annually by demersal fish and 7 – 44. 106 tonnes ... confidence limits. Major shortcomings of the consumption estimated for mesopelagic fish are the validity of ... hydro-acoustic biomass estimates conducted in the late 1980’s and the lack of quantitative food ...

A RE-APPRAISAL OF THE TOTAL BIOMASS AND ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF ANTARCTIC KRILL
Abstract: Despite much research on Euphausia superba, estimates of their total biomass and ... revisions in acoustics have made it possible to refine previous estimates. Net-based databases of density ... and length frequency (KRILLBASE) yield a summer distributional range of ~19 x106 km2 and a mean total ... abundance of 8x1014 postlarvae with biomass of 379 million tonnes (Mt).
