Preliminary estimation of abundance of juvenile Nototheniidae and Channichthyidae within krill swarms east of South Georgia [PDF]
The abundance of juvenile Nototheniidae and Channichthyidae within Antarctic krill concentrations occurring east of South Georgia was investigated. In krill catches, the occurrence of six species of fish was noted.

Reproductive success in Antarctic marine invertebrates [PDF]
The nearshore Antarctic marine environment is unique, characterised by low but constant temperatures that contrast with an intense peak in productivity. As a result of this stenothermal environment, energy input has a profound ecological effect.

Temperature-driven biogeography of the deep-sea family Lithodidae (Crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura) in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Species’ distributions are dynamic and are linked to the changing physical environment. Temperature is considered to be a major factor influencing biogeography, especially in ectotherms such as the family Lithodidae.

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...

Aspects of the physiology and anatomy of cardiac and skeletal muscles in South Polar notothenioid fish [PDF]
Aspects of the physiology and anatomy of cardiac and skeletal muscle in south polar notothenioid fish have been investigated. Relative ventricle weights for the haemoglobinless Chaenocephalus aceratus (family Channichthyidae) were approximately ...

Antarctic Fish: The Importance of Research Programs in Coastal Waters [PDF]
Antarctic fish are an exploitable living resource in one of the most remote regions of the planet. Despite efforts to conserve certain sectors of the Southern Ocean, as well as some of the most emblematic fish species, the pressure from commercial ...

Field immobilisation of adult Weddell seals using intramuscular butorphanol and midazolam
Abstract Background When working with free‐ranging phocid seals, methods of chemical immobilisation require ongoing refinement to reduce complications, particularly apnoea, during research procedures. Methods Adult Weddell seals (n = 20) at Cape Crozier, Antarctica, were chemically immobilised with intramuscular injection of butorphanol and midazolam ...
