Antarctic landfast sea ice (fast ice) is stationary sea ice that is attached to the coast,
grounded icebergs, ice shelves, or other protrusions on the continental shelf. Fast ice forms …

The isolation of the Southern Ocean after the opening of Drake Passage some 23–25 million
years ago, the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the subsequent cooling of the …

A quantitative food web of the Ross Sea is presented here as a step towards investigating
ecosystem effects of the fishery for Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni). The model …

Among the endemic notothenioid fish of Antarctica, the Antarctic silverfish (Pleuragramma
antarcticum) is the only species in which all developmental stages live throughout the water …

The nototheniid Pleuragramma antarcticum (Boulenger, 1902), is the dominant pelagic fish
in waters of the continental shelf in High Antarctic regions. Larvae and juveniles of this …

Antarctic marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change and are
considered to be particularly sensitive because of the adaptation of most organisms to cold …

Abstract Literature on Ross Sea zooplankton is limited, although it is the most productive
system and has the highest biomass of phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean. Energy …

The adoption of parental care behaviours is the distinctive reproductive characteristic
associated with the diversification and divergence of notothenioid fishes into an array of …
