This is the first time that the symposium has been held in the Southern Hemisphere and it is encouraging, in these difficult financial times, that so many of you have made the long journey to take part in the meeting. The hope is that this meeting will maintain the success of the previous gatherings of deep-sea scientists, and representatives of government, non-government organisations, and industry — where the results of the latest research are exchanged and discussed, particularly with a view as to how this information can be used to effectively manage the increasing pressure placed on deep-sea ecosystems by human activities. On offer at this symposium is a wide array of oral and poster presentations, which I’m sure, will contribute to this goal. As well as engaging fully with the presentations and resulting discussions I hope that you will also enjoy the food and drink that is provided to fuel these activities, as well as take time in the evenings and Wednesday afternoon to explore the “coolest little capital in the world” and its surrounds. Finally, I wish to thank members of the International Steering Committee and the Local Organising Committee for all their enthusiastic and valuable advice, input and labours. Louise Watson, the symposium manager from Conference & Events Ltd, deserves particular recognition for making things happen. My original co-convener, Mireille Consalvey, provided a mass of good ideas and energy at the outset of the symposium organisation — without her contribution this symposium would not have gotten off the ground. Special thanks are also owed to all the symposium sponsors — for without their financial contribution this symposium would not have been possible at all. Here’s to a productive and fun symposium.

Signed; _________________________________ Christine H. Jackson iv ABSTRACT Determining the biotic and abiotic influences on the distribution and abundance of marine mammals is essential for understanding the dynamics of the food chain. The predator-prey relationship can be deterministic in shaping both the community structure and function of marine ecosystems. This is especially pertinent to recovering toothed whale populations given their large size and high prey consumption rates. A greater knowledge of the trophic linkages between toothed whales and their prey will facilitate assessments of their combined impact on the ecosystem since marine food webs are a fusion of bottom-up and top-down energy and nutrient flow.

  • Chapter 51. Biological Communities on Seamounts and Other Submarine Features Potentially Threatened by Disturbance
    Chapter 51. Biological Communities on Seamounts and Other Submarine Features Potentially Threatened by Disturbance Contributors: J. Anthony Koslow, Peter Auster, Odd Aksel Bergstad, J. Murray Roberts, Alex Rogers, Michael Vecchione, Peter Harris, Jake Rice, Patricio Bernal (Co-Lead members) 1. Physical, chemical, and ecological characteristics 1.1 Seamounts Seamounts are predominantly submerged volcanoes, mostly extinct, rising hundreds to thousands of metres above the surrounding seafloor. Some also arise through tectonic uplift. The conventional geological definition includes only features greater than 1000 m in height, with the term “knoll” often used to refer to features 100 – 1000 m in height (Yesson et al., 2011). However, seamounts and knolls do not appear to differ much ecologically, and human activity, such as fishing, focuses on both. We therefore include here all such features with heights > 100 m. Only 6.5 per cent of the deep seafloor has been mapped, so the global number of seamounts must be estimated, usually from a combination of satellite altimetry and multibeam data as well as extrapolation based on size-frequency relationships of seamounts for smaller features. Estimates have varied widely as a result of differences in methodologies as well as changes in the resolution of data. Yesson et al. (2011) identified 33,452 seamount and guyot features > 1000 m in height and 138,412 knolls (100 – 1000 m), whereas Harris et al. (2014) identified 10,234 seamount and guyot features, based on a stricter definition that restricted seamounts to conical forms. Estimates of total abundance range to >100,000 seamounts and to 25 million for features > 100 m in height (Smith 1991; Wessel et al., 2010).

  • Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans
    Molecular Species Delimitation and Biogeography of Canadian Marine Planktonic Crustaceans by Robert George Young A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robert George Young, March, 2016 ABSTRACT MOLECULAR SPECIES DELIMITATION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF CANADIAN MARINE PLANKTONIC CRUSTACEANS Robert George Young Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Dr. Sarah Adamowicz Dr. Cathryn Abbott Zooplankton are a major component of the marine environment in both diversity and biomass and are a crucial source of nutrients for organisms at higher trophic levels. Unfortunately, marine zooplankton biodiversity is not well known because of difficult morphological identifications and lack of taxonomic experts for many groups. In addition, the large taxonomic diversity present in plankton and low sampling coverage pose challenges in obtaining a better understanding of true zooplankton diversity. Molecular identification tools, like DNA barcoding, have been successfully used to identify marine planktonic specimens to a species. However, the behaviour of methods for specimen identification and species delimitation remain untested for taxonomically diverse and widely-distributed marine zooplanktonic groups. Using Canadian marine planktonic crustacean collections, I generated a multi-gene data set including COI-5P and 18S-V4 molecular markers of morphologically-identified Copepoda and Thecostraca (Multicrustacea: Hexanauplia) species. I used this data set to assess generalities in the genetic divergence patterns and to determine if a barcode gap exists separating interspecific and intraspecific molecular divergences, which can reliably delimit specimens into species. I then used this information to evaluate the North Pacific, Arctic, and North Atlantic biogeography of marine Calanoida (Hexanauplia: Copepoda) plankton.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Royal Belgian Institue of Natural Sciences, Departement of Invertebrates (Carcinology), 29 Rue Vautier, B-1000 Bruxelles, Belgium. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Two new families, the Alicellidae fam. nov. and the Valettiopsidae fam. nov., are described based on genera traditionally considered as lysianassoid amphipods. The Alicellidae fam. nov. are deep-sea scavengers often associated with thermal vents. They are distinguished from all other amphipods by a combination of characters which includes a callynophore on antenna 1; a broad, serrate left lacinia mobilis (occasionally narrow or vestigial) and a reduced or vestigial right lacinia mobilis (occasionally broad and serrate); simple or subchelate gnathopod 1; an elongate ischium, rectolinear carpus and propodus and a small dactylus on gnathopod 2 (not mitten-shaped); absence of apical robust setae on uropods 1 and 2 and a deeply cleft telson. The family contains 6 genera: Alicella Chevreux, 1899; Apotectonia Barnard & Ingram, 1990; Dia- tectonia Barnard & Ingram, 1990; Paralicella Chevreux, 1908; Tectovalopsis Barnard & Ingram, 1990; Transtectonia Barnard & Ingram, 1990. The Valettiopsidae fam. nov. are deep-sea scavenging amphipods defined by a combination of characters which includes a callynophore on antenna 1; serrate, curved incisors; a well developed, serrate lacinia mobilis on each mandible, an oblique setal row on the inner plate of maxilla 2, an elongate ischium on gnathopod 2; the absence of robust setae on the apices of uropods 1 and 2 and a deeply cleft telson.

    Research vessel POLARSTERN PS119: 13.04. – 31.05.2019 Punta Arenas ‐ Port Stanley Sixth weekly report: 13. – 19. May, 2019 To the smoking volcano of Saunders Island Like last week, we spent the sixth week in the southernmost area of the South Sandwich Plate, from the back‐arc spreading ridge of the segments 8 and 9 in the west to the Kemp Caldera. The volcano of Kemp Caldera is part of the collision zone with the South American plate to the East. A look to our expedition logo shows symbolically the spreading ridge on the left and flowing to the right the volcanoes, fore‐arc area and subduction zone. The weather conditions, which denied from Sunday to Tuesday morning further dives, permitted not until Tuesday to dive down with ROV QUEST to the seafloor. We used the dive‐free time for the deployment of other sampling gear. On Sunday, 12th of May, we sampled the deepest area of the Kemp caldera with a 3 m long gravity corer and the multi‐corer. The until then surveyed Parasound profiles over the caldera showed in the deepest area narrow sediment layers, whose mineral and chemical composition in references to hydrothermal deposits are of huge interest. With our corers we were able to sample sediment layers of 230 cm depth, which surprised us by their colouring and diverse sediment compositions.
