long, and best known as prey for whales and penguins–but they have another important …

Abstract The Weddell Gyre (WG) is one of the main oceanographic features of the Southern
Ocean south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current which plays an influential role in global …

This topical and exciting textbook describes fisheries exploitation, biology, conservation and
management, and reflects many recent and important changes in fisheries science. These …

The Scotia Sea ecosystem is a major component of the circumpolar Southern Ocean system,
where productivity and predator demand for prey are high. The eastward-flowing Antarctic …

The South Georgia region is characterised by high biomass and productivity of
phytoplankton, zooplankton and vertebrate predators. Important commercial fisheries have …

Available data on the spatial distribution and feeding ecophysiology of Antarctic krill,
Euphausia superba, and the tunicate, Salpa thompsoni, in the Southern Ocean are …

There is an enormous amount of data on Southern Ocean (SO) zooplankton, mostly on their
distribution with a minority addressing rate processes. This review aims to summarise these …

The biological carbon pump drives a flux of particulate organic carbon (POC) through the
ocean and affects atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. Short term, episodic flux events are …

The overwintering success of Euphausia superba is a key factor that dictates population
size, but there is uncertainty over how they cope with the scarcity of pelagic food. Both …

Feeding by juvenile Antarctic krill Euphausia superba near South Georgia was assessed
dunng the austral summer of 1995/1996. Gut fluorescence results were compared with those …
