Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) is a large notothenioid fish that supports
valuable fisheries throughout the Southern Ocean. D. eleginoides are found on the southern …

Icefish or white-blooded fish are a family of species, unique among vertebrates in that they
possess no haemoglobin. With the exception of one species which occurs on the southern …

Stable carbon isotope signatures (δ 13 C) are increasingly being used to determine the
foraging habitats of consumers in the Southern Ocean. An underlying assumption is that a …

Seabirds have been used extensively as bioindicators of mercury (Hg) contamination in the
marine environment, although information on flightless species like penguins remains …

A major mid‐1980s shift in ecological structure of significant portions of the Southern Ocean
was partially due to the serial depletion of fish by intensive industrial fishing, rather than …

This paper provides the first quantitative information on mercury in soil, coastal sediment,
and in characteristic organisms of terrestrial and shallow coastal marine ecosystems from …

The Southern Ocean cephalopod fauna is distinctive, with high levels of endemism in the
squid and particularly in the octopodids. Loliginid squid, sepiids and sepiolids are absent …

Coastal seabirds are bound to be dependent on local marine resources. We hypothesize
that the localization of the breeding colony will influence the foraging patterns of such …

Penguins have been recently identified as useful bioindicators of mercury (Hg) transfer to
food webs in the Southern Ocean over different spatial and temporal scales. Here, feather …

Gentoo penguins Pygoscelis papua show considerable plasticity in their diet, diving, and
foraging behaviors among colonies; we expected that they might exhibit similar variability …
