Antifreeze molecules in Nototheniid fish around Davis Station, Antarctica

A report completed as part of this project is available for download from the URL given below.  Extracts of the report are presented in the metadata record.
See the report for full details.
Several species of Antarctic fish were collected from the shallow waters off Davis Station during the 2000-01 season as part of a study examining the properties of 'antifreeze' proteins contained within the blood of these animals.  Fish were sampled at regular intervals from a range of depths and various sites near the station.
The main objectives of the study were to collect serum and selected tissues from Nototheniid (cod) and Channichthyid (ice fish) species.  Over 170 fish were collected throughout the calendar year.  Samples were taken as required, processed and the fish preserved for further analysis on return to Australia.  In Australia the serum will be tested for special antifreeze molecules that allow these animals to live in water that is colder than the usual freezing point of their body fluids.  Such molecules, once identified, may be synthesised in a laboratory, and have numerous potential practical applications, from the preservation of frozen foods, to preservation of blood plasma and organs for human transplant.  Analyses of this nature will be undertaken at the University of Sydney.

Photogrammetric video tracks of Antarctic blue whale movements recorded during the 2013 Antarctic Blue Whale Voyage

During the 2013 Antarctic Blue Whale Voyage of the Southern Ocean Research Partnership a photogrammetric video tracking system was used to collect precise surfacing locations during encounters with some Antarctic blue whales. The photogrammetric video tracking system is described by Leaper and Gordon 2001, and enables determination of the range and bearing to tracked objects relative to the ship. 
During the voyage, 32 tracking sessions yielded 553 precise photogrammetric locations comprising a total of 27 tracks of blue whales.

The effect of global climate change on Antarctic marine diatoms

Antarctic marine diatoms are sensitive to environment change. This project will determine the environmental niches occupied by key diatom species in Antarctic sediments. This will allow climate changes in the past to be interpreted from Holocene sediments and future changes in diatom biogeography to be predicted.
Environmental manipulation and competition experiments using diatoms will identify the response of key taxa to environment modification.  Understanding the environmental factors governing their distribution and natural variability will provide a basis to interpret palaeo-environment records, and allow predictions how this temperature-sensitive ecosystem will respond to future change.
Diatoms for the experiments were collected in 2002 (Aurora Australia, Voyage 1) and 2003 (Aurora Australis, Voyage 1). On each occasion water from the ship's online seawater tap was filtered through a 20 micrometre plankton net for up to one hour into a sample jar. A portion of the sample was preserved in lugol's iodine for later phytoplankton analysis, and the rest of the sample maintained alive in the dark in seawater at a constant low temperature. The live sample is maintained at the AAD for culturing and environment manipulation and competition experiments.
Project 2302
Twenty-two water samples were collected from 24/10/02 to 11/11/02, in open seawater between 53 degrees 50 degrees S and 65 degrees 50 degrees S. At each site, the following were recorded from the ship's data logger: latitude, longitude, date, UCT time, local time, water depth, salinity, water temperature, chlorophyll A, UV radiation, and conductivity.

A spatial reference system for coastal ice-free land in East Antarctica

This dataset comprises a table and set of maps of all geographic sites of ice-free land along the East Antarctica coastline between longitudes 37°E and 160°E. Each geographic site comprises a discrete area of ice-free land and includes islands within 100 km of the coast and outcrops of ice free continental rock within 1 km of the coast. The geographic sites were identified in a geographic information system using polygons sourced from the AAT Coastline 2003 dataset produced by Geoscience Australia and the Australian Antarctic Division, and exposed rock polygons sourced from the Antarctic Digital Database version 4.0 produced for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. The maps are grouped into sub-regions and regions, with multiple maps in most sub-regions. The maps were designed to be of a scale that could be used in the field to identify sites by their shape and location. This dataset has previously been used in the specific context of potential breeding habitat for Adelie penguins (doi:10.4225/15/5758F4EC91665) but has potential for broader use in a wide range of ecological and environmental studies.
2021-06-30 - an updated copy of the spatial reference system spreadsheet was uploaded.  The update was only minor.

Zooplankton abundance in the Kerguelen Axis region

Zooplankton were collected with a Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT 8+1 net) from 37 sampling sites on and near the Southern Kerguelen Plateau. The contents of each net were preserved in 5% buffered formaldehyde. This dataset covers the counts of the contents of the RMT1 net. The contents were split in the laboratory using a Motoda Box and then identified and counted under a Leica M165C stereo-microscope. A flow meter attached to the mouth of the RMT 8 was used to record the volume of seawater passing through the net, and this volume was  converted to water passing through the RMT 1 by applying the conversion factor of 2.027357. The organisms in the samples were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible. For copepods and euphausiids this level was to species, and generally to sex and/or development stage. For other groups, the identifications were to high levels such as Family or Order.

Tracking summer migration of humpback whales from Sunshine Coast, Queensland to southern waters 2010/11

Satellite tracks of humpback whales tagged off the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia and tracked to Antarctic feeding grounds. 
Data can be found here: https://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/argos/display_campaign.cfm?campaign_id=87
Satellite tags were deployed on adult humpback whales with a modified version of the Air Rocket Transmitter System (ARTS, Restech) and a purpose-designed projectile carrier at a pressure of 7.5 – 10 bar. A custom-designed, 80mm anchor section is attached to a stainless steel cylindrical housing containing a location-only transmitter (SPOT-5 by Wildlife Computers, Redmond, Washington, USA and Kiwisat 202 Cricket by Sirtrack, Havelock North, New Zealand). This superseded anchor design resulted in the anchor section disarticulating upon deployment in order to achieve improved tag retention times while minimising impact. The tags were sterilised with ethylene oxide prior to deployment and implanted up to 290mm into the skin, blubber, interfacial layers and outer muscle mass of the whale. Tags were programmed to transmit to the Argos satellite system at various duty cycles and repetition rates for a maximum of 720 transmissions per day. These transmissions are relayed to processing centres which calculate the transmitter’s location by measuring the Doppler Effect on transmission frequency.

Subset of data from the TAGS database of known age seals - Weddell Seals

This database is a compendium of histories of known age seals (Weddell) from observations across the Southern Ocean but focussed on the Windmill Islands, Mawson and the Vestfold Hills.  Although the following information pertains to Elephant Seals, it is assumed similar procedures were undertaken with the Weddell Seals between 1973 and 2006:
At Macquarie Island 1000 seals were weighed per annum between 1993-2003 at birth and individually marked with two plastic flipper tags in the inter-digital webbing of their hind flippers. These tagged seals were weighed again at weaning, when length, girth, fat depth, and flipper measurements were made. Three weeks after weaning 2000 seals were permanently and individually marked by hot-iron branding. Recaptures and re-weighings of these known aged individuals were used to calculate growth and age-specific survival of the seals.
Similar data were collected from elephant seals between 1950 and 1965 when seals were individually marked by hot-iron branding. Mark-recapture data from these cohorts were used to assess the demography of the declining population. Length and mass data were also collected for these cohorts and were used, for the first time, to assess the growth of individual seals without killing them.
The database was held by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre, but was taken offline due to maintenance problems.  A snapshot of the database was taken in June 2018 and stored in an access database.
This work was completed as part of ASAC project 90.

Sea ice algal composition, bloom potential and response to increased CO2 observed during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

This dataset contains pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry measurements and chlorophyll concentrations for a series of incubation experiments performed during the 2012 SIPEX marine science voyage. The PAM files are in a raw format, but can be opened using Microsoft Excel. Light curves have not been processed.  
Bloom potential: 4-8 ice cores were collected from 4 fast ice stations during SIPEXII (Stations 20120926, 20121006, 20121013, 20121019) and ice collected from the back of the ship (Underway ice collection). The bottom 3cm was shaved off each ice core into filtered seawater. The concentration of chlorophyll a in the slurry was measured using a Turner 10AU fluorometer and the physiological health was determined using a PAM fluorometer. 5 x 50ml cultures from each ice station were incubated for 15-30 days (~50uE, ~0.2 degrees). At the end of the incubation period, the physiological health of the cultures was measured again, as was chlorophyll a. Post-incubation samples were also collected to determine nutrient concentration and species composition. 
C02: Brine algae was collected from sack holes drilled to a depth of ~45cm from 3 fast ice stations during SIPEXII (Stations 20121006, 20121013, 20121019). PAM fluorometry was used to measure cell health prior to the brine solution being aliquoted into 50ml culture vials to produce 4 treatments: 0.1% CO2, 1% CO2, 2% CO2, control. Cultures were incubated for 7-12 days. Post incubation analyses included: PAM, chlorophyll a, DIC, TA and cell identification. Samples were also collected for DNA extraction, which was performed at sea. 
The files in this dataset are:
1. McMinn Bloom Dynamics folder. This folder contains raw PAM data from each of the experiments. This is highly specialised photophysiology data, please consult the Walz PAM manual (www.walz.com) for interpretation. The dates and duration of each incubation experiment can be determined from the raw data.

Characterising the microbial interactions that drive organic sulphur cycling in Antarctic waters

These data come from a set of experiments conducted on the coastal waters near Davis Station in January 2017. The first set of data are from a transect near the Sorsdal glacier and out to sea, to characterise DMSP-mediated phytoplankton bacteria interactions along a salinity gradient. The second data set are from a series of incubation experiments to gain deeper insight into the role of various infochemicals in Antarctic phytoplankton-bacteria relationships. Specifically, DMSP, VitB12, Tryptophan and Methionine. The last data set is derived from two incubation experiments: a short term DMSP addition experiment to look at its uptake and utilisation by the microbial community; and a longer-term (5 day) stable isotope probing experiment to track DMSP through the lower trophic food web.
