Multiyear changes in distribution and abundance of Salpa thompsoni in the Western Antarctic Peninsula region
characterized by a circumpolar distribution and its appearance is clearly associated with the occurrence of the ... Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). This area of the Southern Ocean is characterized by a relatively low ... productivity and high water temperature. In recent years the expansion of distribution range of this ... invertebrate species has been observed. This process may be a result of the ACC southward movement, which is ...
