Population dynamics of the wandering albatross on Macquarie Island and the effects of mortality from longline fishing

From the abstract of one of the referenced papers:
The estimated breeding population of wandering albatrosses on Macquarie Island increased from 17 in 1956 to a maximum of 97 in 1966, and then declined at an average rate of 8.1% per year.  Mark-recapture analysis shows that the population is not closed (ie subject to immigration and emigration).  The decline is correlated with the onset of large-scale fishing for tuna in the southern hemisphere using longlines.  The effect of longline mortality on the population dynamics of the wandering albatross is estimated.  An annual number of longline hooks in the southern hemisphere tuna fishery of 41.6 million is calculated as the ceiling below which the population would begin to recover.
Part of these data were collected as part of ASAC project 751 (ASAC_751), 'Status and conservation of albatrosses on Macquarie Island'.

Phytoplankton Ecology in the Fjords of the Vestfold and Larsemann Hills

From the abstract of the referenced paper:
Spring phytoplankton communities in the water column of Ellis Fjord are characterised by diatoms originating from the bottom sea-ice strand community.  Upon ice break-out in early summer, these are replaced by blooms of the phytoflagellates, Phaeocystis puchetii, Cryptomonas cryophila, Pyramimonas gelidicola, silicoflagellates and dinoflagellates.  The narrow entrance of the fjord and the development of summer stratification is probably limiting the availability of nutrients and containing the magnitude of the small bloom (maximum 2.8 million cells per litre).

Sea ice micro-zooplankton in ice cores and the water column (LOPC) observed during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

This data set includes abundance and distribution of sea ice and water column micro-invertebrates.
Data was collected form 8 stations over the course of the SIPEX 2 voyage. The data for this project consists of 2 separate collection regimes:


Ice cores - a number of ice were taken at stations 1-6, using a 15cm corer, they were sectioned and dissolved in filtered seawater before being fixed in formalin. At Station 6 sufficient biomass was present in the bottom 10cm of some cores to allow microscopic separation of copepod species, which were then frozen for stable isotope analysis (SIA).


Lazer optical plankton counter (LOPC) was deployed at stations 2 to 7 either from ice holes (IH) or from the trawl Deck (TD) to depths of 60m or 100m. These deployments were made throughout the day where possible and were accompanied by a 100um plankton net . Each deployment consisted of 2 drops for both the LOPC and the net. Collected plankton were filtered onto 50um mesh and backwashed into vials before being fixed in 5% formalin.


All LOPC files .bin will require LOPC program manufactured by ODIM Rolls Royce Nova Scotia.
These files are read to format .dat which maybe opened as a .txt file

Casey marine sediment meiofauna 2015

Marine meiofauna community data from Casey Station area in the Windmill Islands, east Antarctica. Data comes from samples taken by divers in 2015 from 10 locations around the Casey area. Samples were taken with small corers which consisted of modified 60 mL syringes with internal diameter of 28 mm. These syringes were inserted into the sediment to a depth of 10 cm, then extracted and the lower end capped. Samples were preserved in 4% formalin. All meiofauna were counted and identified to at least phylum level. Copepods were identified to family level and nematodes were identified to genus level.
There are a total of 83 samples, 8 from each location, except for 4 at O’Brien Bay-1 and 12 at Shannon Bay and Brown Bay Middle.
The data consists of an excel spreadsheet with four worksheets.
1.  Location data – latitude, longitude, depth
2.  Phylum/Class/Order counts per sample
3.  Copepod family counts per sample
4.  Nematode genus counts per sample

Marginal ice zone drift prediction model

A Langrangian free drift model is developed, including a term for geostrophic currents that reproduces the 13 h period signature in the ice motion observed in the data (CLSC_WIIOS_2017; parent data). The calibrated model is shown to provide accurate predictions of the ice drift for up to 2 days, and the calibrated parameters provide estimates of wind and ocean drag for pancake floes under storm conditions.
Model setup is described in "Drift of pancake ice floes in the winter Antarctic marginal ice zone during polar cyclones", Alberello et. al [https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/2019JC015418; pre-print https://arxiv.org/pdf/1906.10839.pdf].
The dataset includes model data.
Six model outputs are included.
(i) "full_t00" includes the full 10 days simulation, with all the forcing switched on
(ii) "noge_t00" includes the full 10 days simulation, but the geostrophic current is suppressed
(iii) "full_t25_noup" includes the simulation with start at 2.5 days, all the forcing switched on, no update of the drag coefficients
(iv) "full_t25_newn" includes the simulation with start at 2.5 days, all the forcing switched on, the drag coefficients are recalibrated
(v) "full_t50_noup" includes the simulation with start at 5 days, all the forcing switched on, no update of the drag coefficients
(vi) "full_t50_newn" includes the simulation with start at 5 days, all the forcing switched on, the drag coefficients are recalibrated

Inshore Marine Fish of the Vestfold Hills Antarctica, 1983-1984

Thirteen species of fish have so far been caught in the inshore waters around the Vestfold Hills, including the Rauer Islands, in depths down to approximately 100 m. Species caught depend markedly on the type of fishing gear used, but three species are clearly dominant numerically. Pagonthenia bernacchii is most abundant in the shallower (less than 20 m deep) weedy and rocky habitats, while Chionodraco hamatus is dominant in the deeper (greater than 20 m deep) nearshore troughs and further offshore. Pagonthenia borchgrevinki occupies the specialised habitat associated with sea ice and close-inshore areas, including fjords and Burton Lake. The species list from the Vestfold Hills area is similar to lists from comparable locations in East Antarctica except for the major difference that C. hamatus has not yet been recorded from such shallow waters at the other locations, while P. bernacchi and P. hansoni are much more abundant in water deeper than 20 m at those sites than at Davis. This work was completed as part of ASAC project 239.
