This study analysed four groundfish biomass surveys (POKER 1–4) conducted from 2006 to 2017 across depths ranging from 100 to 1 000 m. Forty demersal species were recorded in total and density distributions of twenty presented. However, only seven species account for the majority of the biomass (96%). Total biomass was 250 000 tonnes during the first three surveys (POKER 1–3), and 400 000 tonnes for POKER 4 due to a high catch of marbled notothen (Notothenia rossii) and mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) (accounting for 44% and 17% of the 400 000 tonnes biomass respectively).

Area-restricted search patterns and dive behaviour were established from location data gathered by CTD satellite- relayed data loggers. At-sea movements of the seals demonstrated that >40% of the juvenile ele- phant seal population tagged use the Kerguelen Plateau during the austral winter. Search activity increased where temperature at 200 m depth was lower, when closer to the shelf break, and, to a lesser extent, where sea-surface height anomalies were higher. However, while this model explained the observed data (F1,242 = 88.23, p < 0.0001), bootstrap analysis revealed poor predic- tive capacity (r2 = 0.264). There appears to be potential overlap between the seals and commercial fishing operations in the region. This study may therefore support ecosystem-based fisheries man- agement of the region, with the aim of maintaining ecological integrity of the shelf.

  • Microsatellite Markers for the Notothenioid Fish Lepidonotothen
    Papetti et al. BMC Res Notes (2016) 9:238 DOI 10.1186/s13104-016-2039-x BMC Research Notes SHORT REPORT Open Access Microsatellite markers for the notothenioid fish Lepidonotothen nudifrons and two congeneric species Chiara Papetti1*, Lars Harms1, Jutta Jürgens1, Tina Sandersfeld1,2, Nils Koschnick1, Heidrun Sigrid Windisch1,3, Rainer Knust1, Hans‑Otto Pörtner1 and Magnus Lucassen1 Abstract Background: Loss of genetic variability due to environmental changes, limitation of gene flow between pools of individuals or putative selective pressure at specific markers, were previously documented for Antarctic notothenioid fish species. However, so far no studies were performed for the Gaudy notothen Lepidonotothen nudifrons. Starting from a species-specific spleen transcriptome library, we aimed at isolating polymorphic microsatellites (Type I; i.e. derived from coding sequences) suitable to quantify the genetic variability in this species, and additionally to assess the population genetic structure and demography in nototheniids. Results: We selected 43,269 transcripts resulting from a MiSeq sequencer run, out of which we developed 19 primer pairs for sequences containing microsatellite repeats. Sixteen loci were successfully amplified in L. nudifrons. Eleven microsatellites were polymorphic and allele numbers per locus ranged from 2 to 17. In addition, we amplified loci identified from L. nudifrons in two other congeneric species (L. squamifrons and L. larseni). Thirteen loci were highly transferable to the two congeneric species. Differences in polymorphism among species were detected. Conclusions: Starting from a transcriptome of a non-model organism, we were able to identify promising polymor‑ phic nuclear markers that are easily transferable to other closely related species. These markers can be a key instru‑ ment to monitor the genetic structure of the three Lepidonotothen species if genotyped in larger population samples.

Abstract: Cryonotothenioidea is the main group of fishes that thrive in the extremely cold Antarctic environment, thanks to the acquisition of peculiar morphological, physiological and molecular adaptations. We have previously disclosed that IgM, the main immunoglobulin isotype in teleosts, display typical cold-adapted features. Recently, we have analyzed the gene encoding the heavy chain constant region (CH) of the IgT isotype from the Antarctic teleost Trematomus bernacchii (family Nototheniidae), characterized by the near-complete deletion of the CH2 domain. Here, we aimed to track the loss of the CH2 domain along notothenioid phylogeny and to identify its ancestral origins.

  • Food and Feeding Ecology of the Neritic-Slope Forager Black-Browed Albatross and Its Relationships with Commercial Fisheries in Kerguelen Waters

Dietary analy- sis and satellite tracking were used to estimate potential interactions with commercial fisheries in the area. Fish comprised 73% by fresh mass of albatross diet; other significant food items were penguins (14%) and cephalopods (10%). Twenty-one species of fish (232 individuals) were identified and included mainly nototheniid and channichthyid species. The most important were Dissostichus elegi- noides (18.3% by reconstituted mass), Channichthys rhinoceratus (16.9%), Lepidonotothen squam- ifrons (11.6%), and to a lesser extent, Bathyraja sp. (4.5%) and Notothenia cyanobrancha (4.5%). The cephalopod diet was dominated by 3 taxa, the ommastrephid squids Todarodes sp. (7.6%) and Mar- tialia hyadesi (3.6%), and the octopus Benthoctopus thielei (2.4%). Satellite tracking indicated that during trips lasting 2 to 3 d, albatrosses foraged mainly over the outer shelf and inner shelf-break of the Kerguelen Archipelago. Birds moved to northern, eastern and southern waters, but never to the western Kerguelen shelf where there was a commercial longline fishery for D. eleginoides.

To understand the unique biochemical features of high-Antarctic noto- thenioids, it is important to improve our knowledge of these highly cold-adapted stenotherms with new information on their sub- Antarctic relatives. This paper focuses on the oxygen-transport system of two non-Antarctic species, Eleginops maclovinus and Bovichtus diac- anthus. Unlike most Antarctic notothenioids, the blood of E. maclovinus and B. diacanthus displays high hemoglobin (Hb) multiplicity. E. maclovinus, the sister group of Antarctic notothenioids, has one cathodal (Hb C) and two anodal components (Hb 1, Hb 2). B. diacanthus, one of the most northern notothenioids, has three major Hbs. The multiple Hbs may have been maintained as a response to temperature differences and fluctuations of temperate waters, much larger than in the Antarctic.

Hautecoeur Muséum national d’histoire naturelle Département des milieux et peuplements aquatiques UMR 5178, USM 401, CP 26 43 rue Cuvier 75231 Paris Cedex 05, France Email – [email protected] Abstract ‘POKER 2006’, a bottom trawl fish biomass survey, was conducted from September to October 2006 in the northern part of the Kerguelen Plateau (CCAMLR Statistical Division 58.5.1). The swept-area method was used in the depth range from 100 to 1 000 m with 207 random stratified stations. Estimates of biomass and abundance were produced for eight commercial species. The total biomass was 245 000 tonnes and Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) accounted for half of the value (124 000 tonnes). The fish biomass was distributed between the shelf and the deep sea. However, this evaluation remains incomplete as four of the species (D. eleginoides, bigeye grenadier (Macrourus carinatus), Eaton’s skate (Bathyraja eatonii) and Kerguelen sandpaper skate (B. irrasa)) extend deeper than 1 000 m, the limit of the POKER 2006 survey. Some shelf and slope species (mackerel icefish (Champsocephalus gunnari) and marbled rockcod (Notothenia rossii)) exhibit low levels of biomass when compared to the results of previous surveys (SKALP surveys, 1987 and 1988). Other species (unicorn icefish (Channichthys rhinoceratus) and grey rockcod (Lepidonotothen squamifrons)) seem to have increased, even doubled, their biomass during the period between the two surveys. In addition to the commercial species, Zanclorhynchus spinifer was abundant on the shelf and Alepocephalus cf.

In general, marine, biota—particularly in euphotic and dysphotic zones—depends directly or indirectly on light, but ultraviolet radiation (UV-R) can damage vital molecular machineries. UV-R induces the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and impairs intracellular structures and enzymatic reactions. It can also affect organismal physiologies and eventually alter trophic chains at the ecosystem level. In Antarctica, physical drivers, such as sunlight, sea-ice, seasonality and low temperature are particularly influencing as compared to other regions. The springtime ozone depletion over the Southern Ocean makes organisms be more vulnerable to UV-R.
