Instantaneous Growth Rate (IGR) experiments on krill during the BROKE-West voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2006

Crustaceans grow or shrink in size as they moult. Length of discarded moults represent length of animals before their moulting events. Therefore, by measuring length of discarded moult and length of animal after moult, growth increments at the time of moult can be obtained. IGR is defined as the growth increment expressed as a proportion of pre-moult total length (TL). IGR can be converted into daily growth rate for a given value of TL by calculating absolute growth increment and dividing by an estimate of inter-moult period (IMP). 
The IGR technique depends on the collection of live krill in good condition. Krill were caught with an RMT-8 net and individual freshly caught animals were randomly selected from the catch and immediately transferred to individual jars. They were then maintained onboard and checked regularly for moults for up to 5 days following capture. The experiments were run a flowthrough seawater system which used 250 ml jars with small holes to allow water exchange in a large flow-through tank of seawater maintained at ambient ocean temperature. No additional food was provided. The system allowed experiments with over 4000 krill. Each krill was checked daily after capture to ascertain whether it had moulted. If an animal had moulted, then the animal and its moult were collected and frozen in liquid nitrogen or at -85 degrees C to be measured back ashore. The growth rate will be estimated from the difference in length of the uropod of the moult and that of the whole post-moult krill.
This work was completed as part of ASAC projects 2655 and 2679 (ASAC_2655, ASAC_2679).

Southern Ocean pinnipeds provide bathymetric insights on the East Antarctic continental shelf

These are seal dive data used in the paper "Southern Ocean pinnipeds provide bathymetric insights on the East Antarctic continental shelf"
The seal dive depths provide new ocean depth information from over 500,000 individual dives from 265 seals on the East Antarctica continental shelf. The seal tags have a post-processed position uncertainty of 2-3 km, and provide transmitted depth data with a resolution of 10-25 m. About 25% of these seal dives were, on average, 220 m (sometimes over 1000 m) deeper than the interpolated seafloor in the International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean Version 2
Each row is an individual dive collected by a SMRU CTD-SLDR and transmitted via system Argos. Max_depth is the maximum depth reached by the seal on that dive. 
The lons and lats are estimates of the seals location at the end of that dive and were calculated using the AniMotum package in R, which uses a state Space Model to estimate a location for each dive. The uncertainty of these locations has been quantified to be a median error of 3.2 km (95th percentile = 12.1 km), relative to near-simultaneous GPS locations for the same seals (Jonsen, I. D. et al. A continuous-time state-space model for rapid quality control of Argos locations from animal-borne tags. Move. Ecol. 8, 31 (2020). https://doi.org:10.1186/s40462-020-00217-7).
The columns are:
Id = seal identifier
date = date/time in YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS format
lon = longitude
lat = latitude
max_depth = maximum depth of the dive. Depths are negative to match the IBCSO data
ibcso2 = IBCSO V2 bathymetry at that point
dfb = distance from bathymetry calculated as ibcso2-depth, so that a positive value indicates the dive was deeper than IBCSO
species= species of seal that collected the data (Mirounga leonina or Leptonchtyes weddellii)

Effect of spatial and temporal variation in marine productivity on energy acquisition in southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina

The demographic performance of high level antarctic predators is ultimately determined by the oceanic processes that influence the spatial and temporal distribution of primary productivity. This study will quantify the links between the foraging performance of southern elephant seals and a range of oceanographic parameters, including sea surface temperature, productivity and bathymetry.  These data are a crucial component in understanding how antarctic predators will respond to changes in the distribution of marine and will be an important contribution to our understanding of the on-going decline in elephant seal numbers.
Data were originally collected on Time Depth Recorders (TDRs), and stored in hexadecimal format.  Hexadecimal files can be read using 'Instrument Helper', a free download from Wildlife Computers (see the URL given below).

Adelie penguin occupancy survey of the Rauer Group, 2009

Occupancy surveys in November 2008 (Southwell and Emmerson 2013) found a total of 13 Adelie penguin breeding sites in the Rauer Group. The boundaries of breeding sub-colonies at 12 of these sites were subsequently mapped from vertical aerial photographs taken for abundance surveys on 21-23 November 2009 (for details of aerial photography see Southwell et al. 2013). The boundaries were mapped with a buffer distance of approximately 1-3 m from the perimeter of penguin sub-colonies.

Effects of human activity on Gentoo penguins on Macquarie Island

This project empirically measures the effects of human activity on the behaviour and reproductive success of Gentoo penguins on Macquarie Island. This was achieved by 1) collecting behavioural responses of individual penguins exposed to pedestrian approaches across the breeding stages of guard, creche and moult, and 2) collecting reproductive success data (chicks raised to creche age per nesting pair) for gentoo penguins colonies in areas of high and low human activity. Information produced includes minimum approach guidelines.
As of April 2003 all data are stored on Hi-8 digital tape, due to be transformed during 2003 - 2004 into a timecoded tab-delimited text format for analysis using the Observer (Noldus Information Technology 2002).
This work was carried out as part of ASAC project 1148 (ASAC_1148).

Adelie penguin occupancy survey of the Rookery Island Group, 2014

Two colonies with breeding Adelie colonies were mapped this season in the Rookery Island group in conjunction with colony counts. Subcolonies were mapped by circumnavigating the perimeter of sub-colonies on foot while carrying a Garmin GPS (Legend Cx) to log the track taken. The person walking the perimeter of the sub-colonies maintained a buffer distance of approximately 2.5m between themselves and the breeding birds along the sub-colony boundary. This buffer distance was reduced to approximately 2m in the final shapefiles.
