Subantarctic zone oceanography - SAZ Project 1997-1998 - Phosphate Modeling

Oceanographic processes in the subantarctic region contribute crucially to the physical and biogeochemical aspects of the global climate system.  To explore and quantify these contributions, the Antarctic Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) organised the SAZ Project, a multidisciplinary, multiship investigation carried out south of Australia in the austral summer of 1997-1998.
Taken from the abstracts of the referenced paper:
We developed and applied a one-dimensional (z) biophysical model to the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ) and the Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ) to simulate seasonal phosphate export production and resupply.  The physical component of our model was capable of reproducing the observed seasonal amplitude of sea surface temperature and mixed layer depth.  In the biological component of the model we used incident light, mixed layer depth, phosphate availability, and estimates of phytoplankton biomass from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor to determine production and tuned the model to reproduce the observed seasonal cycle of phosphate.  We carried out a series of sensitivity studies, taking into account uncertainties in both physical fields and biological formulations (including potential influence of iron limitation), which led to several robust conclusions (as represented by the ranges below).  The major growing season contributed 66-76% of the annual export production in both regions.  The simulated annual export production was significantly higher in the PZF (68-83 mmol P m-2) than in the SAZ (52-61 mmol P m-2) despite the PFZ's having lower seasonal nutrient depletion.  The higher export production in the PFZ was due to its greater resupply of phosphate to the upper ocean during the September to March period (27-37 mmol P m-2) relative to that in the SAZ (8-15 mmol P m-2).  Hence seasonal nutrient depletion was a better estimate of seasonal export production in the SAZ, as demonstrated by its higher ratio of seasonal depletion/export (64-78%) relative to that in the PFZ (34-47%).  In the SAZ, vertical mixing was the dominant mechanism for supplying phosphate to the euphotic zone, whereas in the PFZ, vertical mixing supplied only 37% of the phosphate to the euphotic zone, whereas in the PFZ, vertical mixing supplied only 37% of the phosphate to the euphotic zone and horizontal transport supplied the remaining 63%.

Weddell seal call types made by males and females.

Recordings were made of adult male and female Weddell seals on the ice during the breeding seasons of 1990 and 1997.  The recordings were made near Davis, Antarctica in the Vestfold Hills.  The vocalisations made with both the mouth and nostrils closed were classified into call types.  These call types are also produced by the seals when underwater.  The call classifications were based on those described by Thomas, J.A. and Kuechle,, V.B. (1982, J. Acoust. Soc. Amer. 72: 1730-1738) and Pahl, B.C., Terhune, J.M. and Burton, H.R. (1997, Aus. J. Zool. 45: 171-187).  Nineteen call types were identified.  Of these, males made 18 and females made 15.  Trills are only made by males and it is likely that a stepped ascending whistle is only made by females.  A roar and mew are also potential male-only call types.  The data suggest that the Trill vocalisations can be used to indicate the presence of males.  This will be useful when recording underwater where the calling seals cannot be observed directly.
A description of the types of calls made by Weddell Seals is listed below.

A comparison of in situ and on-vessel larval rearing for coral seeding

Coral sexual recruitment is critical to reef recovery yet often fails on degraded reefs. Coral seeding is one approach to artificially increase the densities of coral settlers on reefs and can be applied in many ways. A thorough comparison of seeding-method performance is needed to inform restoration decisions yet is difficult to undertake given the cost and complexities around employing multiple methods simultaneously. Here, we first designed a vessel-based coral-spawning aquaculture system. Then we undertook an experimental comparison of the performance of larvae reared in the on-vessel system with those reared in in situ rearing pools (SECORE coral rearing in situ basins [CRIBs]). We parameterized survival estimates and assessed post-deployment survival of spat generated using each method. We also quantified survival of spat reared in situ and deployed across six sites on an inshore reef system of the Great Barrier Reef. Larval survival was lower when rearing in situ than on the vessel (3.8 vs. 66.1%, respectively), but settlement behavior and post-settlement survival were comparable between rearing treatments, with yield averaging 66 and 72% after 3&thinsp;months of deployment, from CRIBs and culture tanks, respectively. Spat survival was also comparable across treatments, averaging 5&thinsp;&plusmn;&thinsp;8%. On-vessel rearing was more costly but supported higher survival, increased portability, and enabled more control and manipulation of rearing conditions. By contrast, in situ methods were low-cost, deployable from shore, and low-maintenance. Armed with this information, managers and practitioners can determine the most appropriate method(s) for a given restoration project.
The data within this record support the publication.

Adelie penguin breeding success for Bechervaise Island, Mawson

Adelie penguin breeding success records for Bechervaise Island, Mawson since 1990-91.  Data include counts of occupied nests and chick counts when either 2/3 of the nests have creched or when all nests have creched. Breeding success values are calculated as the number of chicks per occupied nest.
Breeding Success = the number of chicks raised to fledging per nest with eggs
Breeding success is calculated from four different whole island counts:
1) the number of incubating nests (i.e. the number of nest with eggs) - 'incubating nest count'
2) the number of brooding nests (i.e. the number of nests brooding chicks) - 'brooding chick count'
3) the number of chicks present when 2/3 of the nests have creched their chicks - '2/3-creche count'
4) the number of chicks present when all the nests have creche their chicks - 'fully-creche count'
Each colony on the island is manually counted by field observers, using 'counters', three times each. Counts within 10% of each other are used to average the number of nests or chicks for each colony and then in later calculations to determine breeding success.
Incubating nest counts are conducted on or about 2nd December; Brooding chick counts are conducted on or about the 7th January; 2/3-creche counts on or about the 19th January; and Fully-creche chick counts on or about 26th January.
Whole island 2/3-creche and fully-creche chick count dates are determined from calculating when 2/3 and all study nests in the census area (study colonies) have creche their chicks.
This work was completed as part of ASAC Project 2205, Adelie penguin research and monitoring in support of the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Project.

Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Archive of Project Documentation - CAML_Project_Archive.Media_Education_Outreach

The Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Project Archive is a collection of scanned documents, maps, videos, and other related material that comprise the organisation and management documentation associated with a major research project of international significance. CAML measured the distribution and abundance of life in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica so that future impacts of climate change and human activities can be better understood. CAML coordinated the largest-ever survey of the Southern Ocean with 18 voyages in Antarctic waters, and inventoried over 16,000 marine species with hundreds new to science, provided DNA barcodes for 1,500 species, and has so far produced more than 600 scientific publications. CAML is a key activity of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR); a subproject of the Census of Marine Life (CoML); and was a major initiative of the 2007-2009 International Polar Year (IPY).

Population trends of black-browed albatrosses at Heard Island, 1947 - 2001.

The breeding population of the black-browed albatross Thalassarche melanophrys has increased at Heard Island since the first census data were obtained in 1947/1948. Four breeding localities are known, and all populations have increased in the period 1947/1948-2000/2001. The breeding population is estimated to have been approximately 200 pairs in 1947/1948. Based on 2000/2001 census data, the population has increased to a minimum of approximately 600 pairs over the 53 years. Two mechanisms, that of increased prey availability through scavenging discards from trawlers operating within their foraging range, and climatic amelioration, are proposed as hypotheses for this increase.
