Acoustic insights into the zooplankton dynamics of the eastern Weddell Sea [PDF]
The success of any efforts to determine the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems depends on understanding in the first instance the natural variations, which contemporarily occur on the interannual and shorter time scales.

Research Bias in Long‐Term Monitoring of Antarctic Nearshore Marine and Terrestrial Biota
Antarctic wildlife is under pressure from environmental changes and human activity, but how well is Antarctica's coastal biota being monitored? While over half of the long‐term monitoring studies spanned more than 10 years and/or included environmental data, they were limited in number, mostly focused on penguins and marine mammals, were unevenly ...

Food habits and dietary variability of pelagic nekton off Oregon and Washington, 1979-1984 [PDF]
The food habits of 20 species of pelagic nekton were investigated from collections made with small-mesh purse seines from 1979-84 off Washington and Oregon. Four species (spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias; soupfin shark, Galeorhinus zyopterus; blue shark,

Using Stable Isotopes to Assign Origin of White‐Chinned Petrels Killed by Longline Fisheries
ABSTRACT Incidental capture (bycatch) of seabirds in longline and trawl fisheries is one of the main threats to many albatrosses and large petrels. The White‐chinned Petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis) has a circumpolar distribution and is the seabird species killed most frequently by fisheries in the Southern Ocean.

Daily ration of the Okhotsk Sea herring is estimated as 3.9 % of the body weight in spring, 7.7 % in summer, 4.9 % in autumn, and 1.2 % in winter. Its mean annual consumption is assessed as 35.9 million t of prey, mainly zooplankton (97.3 % of the ration)

Diel vertical migration (DVM) behaviour in swarms of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana, 1850) is notoriously variable, with swarms being found at a range of depths and in different shapes, sizes, and packing concentrations throughout the day-night ...

Timing is everything: Drivers of interannual variability in blue whale migration. [PDF]
Blue whales need to time their migration from their breeding grounds to their feeding grounds to avoid missing peak prey abundances, but the cues they use for this are unknown.

Self-maintaining or continuously refreshed? The genetic structure of Euphausia lucens populations in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem [PDF]
Populations of Euphausia lucens over the shelf of the southern Benguela upwelling region could be self-maintaining. Alternatively, they could be continually refreshed by expatriates from the SW Atlantic that enter the system via South Atlantic Central ...

Abstract Salmon populations are declining worldwide, with high mortality rates during juvenile marine migration presenting a bottleneck to recruitment. The ocean conditions along the main migratory route of juvenile salmon in British Columbia are characterized by high variability in CO2, with the amplitude, duration, and frequency of ocean ...
