Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Despite broad global distribution of aquatic telemetry studies, important biogeographic regions remain poorly investigated. The most important variables correlated with the distribution of telemetry studies were political stability, conservation funding, number of scientific documents, and English as a first language.

Analysis of the antifreeze glycoprotein containing genomic locus in the Antarctic notothenioid fish dissostichus mawsoni [PDF]
, 2010 Development of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) circa 25 mya resulted in cooling of the high latitude waters of the Southern Ocean to a chilly -1.86 °C (near the freezing point of seawater) and extinction of most of the late Eocene temperate fish ...

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Marine waters are becoming warmer and acidified and experiencing more intense and longer heatwaves under climate change. These changes are already impacting marine ecosystems and seafood production, which are vital for supporting food security and economic productivity.

Acoustic and ecological investigations into predator-prey interactions between Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and seal and bird predators [PDF]
, 2008 1. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) form aggregations known as swarms that vary greatly in size and density. Six acoustic surveys were conducted as part of multidisciplinary studies at two study sites, the western and eastern core boxes (WCB and ECB),

Geolocation reveals wintering sites of near‐extinct Caucasian breeding sea duck
Ibis, EarlyView.We obtained 14 sets of full annual cycle geolocator tracks from 13 individual nesting female Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca from the relict Caucasian population at their last remaining breeding site, Lake Tabatskuri, Georgia. Results showed that females wintered at widespread discrete localities in Ukraine, around the coasts of the Crimean Peninsula and

Effects of non-fish based raw materials on the fish muscle quality of salmonids [PDF]
, 2013 Salmonids are considered as fatty fish and a healthy food. They are characterized by a high proportion of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA).

Benzo(a)pyrene Metabolism and EROD and GST Biotransformation Activity in the Liver of Red- and White-Blooded Antarctic Fish. [PDF]
, 2015 Climate change and anthropogenic pollution are of increasing concern in remote areas such as Antarctica. The evolutionary adaptation of Antarctic notothenioid fish to the cold and stable Southern Ocean led to a low plasticity of their physiological ...

Contrasting life‐history strategies of three sympatric icefish species in the northern Scotia Sea
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Comprehending a species' life‐history strategies is crucial to inform effective conservation efforts. Commercial fishing impacts icefish (family: Channichthyidae) in the Scotia Sea, but detailed information on species‐specific life histories remains largely unknown.

Invertebrate muscle performance at high latitude: swimming activity in the Antarctic scallop, Adamussium colbecki [PDF]
, 2005 The escape swimming performance of the Antarctic scallop, Adamussium colbecki, was measured in animals acclimated for 6 weeks to –1, 0 or 2°C and tested at –1.5 to +1.5°C. Clap duration and swimming velocity were significantly related to temperature, but
