Multidecadal warming of Antarctic waters [PDF]
, 2014 Decadal trends in the properties of seawater adjacent to Antarctica are poorly known, and the mechanisms responsible for such changes are uncertain. Antarctic ice sheet mass loss is largely driven by ice shelf basal melt, which is influenced by ocean-ice

Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build on the existing threats classification scheme and ranking system of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened ...

Scientific ReportsThe Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is a key species in Antarctic waters, mainly because it is a major component of the diet of dominant predators, including penguins. It is also a marine living resource that is commercially harvested.

On the trophic fate of Phaeocystis pouchetii: VII. Sterols and fatty acids reveal sedimentation of Phaocystis-derived organic matter via krill fecal strings [PDF]
, 2001 As part of a joint project on the fate of phytoplankton in Balsfjorden in Northern Norway, we investigated the trophic fate and sedimentation potential of Phaeocystis pouchetii by tracing the transition of biomarker patterns from a phytoplankton bloom to

Crystallite size distribution and dislocation structure determined by diffraction profile analysis: principles and practical application to cubic and hexagonal crystals [PDF]
, 2001 Two different methods of diffraction profile analysis are presented. In the first, the breadths and the first few Fourier coefficients of diffraction profiles are analysed by modified Williamson-Hall and Warren-Averbach procedures. A simple and pragmatic

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract High‐latitude ecosystems are simultaneously warming and acidifying under ongoing climate change. Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) are a key species in the Arctic Ocean and have demonstrated sensitivity to ocean warming and acidification as adults and embryos, but their larval sensitivity to the combined stressors is unknown. In a laboratory multi‐

Characterisation of the Pump-Suction Flow Field of Antarctic Krill and Key Influencing Factors
Applied SciencesTo address the problem of high damage rates and low efficiency during Antarctic krill pumping, this study used Discrete Phase Modelling (DPM) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyse how krill–water mixing ratios and centrifugal pump speeds affect ...

Polar cod Boreogadus saida occurrence is driven by temperature at the margin of its distribution
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract With a warming Arctic, suitable habitat for polar cod Boreogadus saida (Lepechin 1774) is predicted to decrease. We investigated the changes in distribution of polar cod on the southern limit of its distribution in the Atlantic Ocean (around Iceland) during both autumn and spring after a recent period of warming in the area.
