Résumé: The transport of secondary production in the Southern Ocean food-web was investigated using a combination of physical model data and ship based biological data. The physical current velocity dataset was from FRAM and was used to derive a mean velocity field for the upper 250m of the water column.

Therefore, we review some examples of exploited fishery stocks in which environmental control is a major contributor to structuring the abundance and distribution of the stock. Four examples, ranging from Antarctic krill to oysters, are given that clearly Read More Soumis par: Admin Admin (Secrétariat de la CCAMLR) Demander un document de réunion

We pursued daily transition of coastal polynyas in the Antarctic Peninsula area from 1978 through 1995 using images of sea ice concentrations by the satellite microwave observations. A typical polynya existed off the tip of the Peninsula in 1987 and 1991. In the such years, sea Read More Soumis par: Admin Admin (Secrétariat de la CCAMLR) Demander un document de réunion

Résumé: Krill (Euphausia superba) provide a direct link between primary producers and higher trophic levels in the Antarctic marine food web. The pelagic tunicate Salpa thompsoni can also be important during spring and summer through the formation of extensive and dense blooms.

Résumé: The results of acoustic surveys, especially in low signal-to-noise regimes, are sensitive to the method used to exclude the contribution of background noise from the acoustic data. The use of thresholds to reject weak signals during data collection is inappropriate because the noise contribution to the above-threshold-signal cannot later be removed in post processing.

Krill (grouped according to length classes) swam freely in the tank triggering the data acquisition system when generating a back scattered signal larger than a threshold, determined by the system noise level.
