Abstract:

This paper provides an overview of a new research project to evaluate climate change risks to toothfish in subareas 48.3 and 48.4. The CCAMLR Convention Area is one of the world’s most rapidly changing oceanic regions, with major impacts both observed and expected on marine ecosystems due to climate change and consequences for the conservation and management of marine living Read More

Abstract:

Climate change can impact fish stocks through different processes with two main impacts for a given stock: the migration of the stock and the decrease of its biomass. In the case of Patagonian toothfish, it seems unlikely that migration will occur due to the Read More

Abstract:

Climate variability and change are likely already affecting Antarctic marine ecosystems, fish and fisheries, but monitoring these effects and predicting future trajectories of change is challenging. In this paper for the CCAMLR Climate Change Workshop, we present a summary of the likely effects of climate variability and change on Antarctic skates as a case study for bycatch Read More

Abstract:

Polar seafloor ecosystems are changing rapidly and dramatically, challenging previously held paradigms of extreme dynamical stability. Warming-related declines in polar sea ice are expected to alter fluxes of phytoplankton and under-ice algae to the seafloor. Coastal Antarctic regions are biodiverse and productive regions, covered in sea ice for much of the year. This land- Read More

Earth-observation satellites and models can provide powerful information on environmental variability and change in the Southern Ocean. “Essential Climate Variables” (ECVs) are physical, chemical and/or biological properties (or a group of linked variables) that critically contribute to the characterisation of the state of a natural system. Around the Antarctic, multi-decadal Read More

Abstract:

Over the last half of the 20th century, the western Antarctic Peninsula has been one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth, leading to substantial reductions in regional sea ice coverage. These changes are modulated by atmospheric forcing, including the Amundsen Sea Low (ASL) pressure system. We utilized a novel 25-year (1993–2017) time series to model the effects of environmental Read More
