Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

ASPA entry; A permit is requested to 

enter ASPA 152 (Western Bransfield 

Strait) and ASPA 153 (Eastern Dallmann 

Bay) using the ARSV Laurence M. 

Gould to capture Antarctic fish by 

trawling and trapping. The collected 

fish would be used to study the effects 

of a warming Southern Ocean on 

development of the embryos of 

Antarctic fishes. Data collected under 

this permit would be part of a long-term 

(30-year) dataset. Approximately 50 

hours of trawling would be conducted 

in ASPA 152 and approximately 20 

hours would be conducted in ASPA 

153. Sixteen traps would be set and 

allowed to soak for a total of 6 days. It 

is anticipated that approximately five 

hundred (500) individual fish 

representing four species (Notothenia 

coriiceps, Chaenocephalus aceratus, 

Champsocephalus gunnari, 

Gobionotothen gibberifrons) would be 

captured in the ASPAs and used in the 

study. Live fishes would be transported 

to the aquarium facilities at Palmer 

Station for experimentation. Breeding 

and biochemical experiments would be 

conducted. All experimental animals 

would be humanely euthanized and 

properly disposed of outside the ASPAs. 

Location 

ASPA 152 Western Bransfield Strait 

and ASPA 153 Eastern Dallmann Bay.
