Abstract

The paper introduces several approaches to assessment of hydrological situation in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean (the South-West Atlantic). The analysis of the SST maps suggests that hydrological factors depend on the intensity of two currents, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the Falkland current The paper shows correlation between a certain hydrological situation and fishing for squid Illex argentinus.
