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 …

Within the framework of the Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean
(MEASO), this paper brings together analyses of recent trends in phytoplankton biomass …

First published in 1993, The Biology of the Southern Ocean has been referred to as
international research at its best and an invaluable reference. Drawing on the considerable …

Sea ice is a key habitat in the high latitude Southern Ocean and is predicted to change in its
extent, thickness and duration in coming decades. The sea-ice cover is instrumental in …

Abstract In the Ross Sea, biodiversity organisation is strongly influenced by sea-ice cover,
which is characterised by marked spatio-temporal variations. Expected changes in seasonal …

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 …

Over the last half of the 20th century, the western Antarctic Peninsula has been one of the
