2008-2009 Field Season Report Chapter 9 Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program NOAA-TM-NMFS-SWFSC-445 2008-2009 Field Season Report Chapter 9 Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program NOAA-TM-NMFS-SWFSC-445 Demersal Finfi sh Survey of the South Orkney Islands Christopher Jones, Malte Damerau, Kim Deitrich, Ryan Driscoll, Karl-Hermann Kock, Kristen Kuhn, Jon Moore, Tina Morgan, Tom Near, Jillian Pennington, and Susanne Schöling Abstract A random, depth-stratifi ed bottom trawl survey of the South Orkney Islands (CCAMLR Subarea 48.2) fi nfi sh populations was completed as part of Leg II of the 2008/09 AMLR Survey. Data collection included abundance, spatial distribution, species and size composition, demographic structure and diet composition of fi nfi sh species within the 500 m isobath of the South Orkney Islands. Additional slope stations were sampled off the shelf of the South Orkney Islands and in the northern Antarctic Peninsula region (Subarea 48.1). During the 2008/09 AMLR Survey: • Seventy-fi ve stations were completed on the South Orkney Island shelf and slope area (63-764 m); • Th ree stations were completed on the northern Antarctic Peninsula slope (623-759 m); • A total of 7,693 kg (31,844 individuals) was processed from 65 fi nfi sh species; • Spatial distribution of standardized fi nfi sh densities demonstrated substantial contrast across the South Orkney Islands shelf area; • Th e highest densities of pooled fi nfi sh biomass occurred on the northwest shelf of the South Orkney Islands, at sta- tions north of Inaccessible and Coronation Islands, and the highest mean densities occurred within the 150-250 m depth stratum; • Th e greatest species diversity of fi nfi sh occurred at deeper stations on the southern shelf region; • Additional data collection of environmental and ecological features of the South Orkney Islands was conducted in order to further investigate Antarctic fi nfi sh in an ecosystem context.

  • Examples of Amino Acid Changes in Notothenioids Methods To
    Supplementary Information S1 Candidate genes: examples of amino acid changes in notothenioids Methods To evaluate notothenioid amino acid changes in a cross‐section of genes, six candidates from a range of functional categories of interest were chosen for a more detailed examination. The selected genes comprised small, well‐characterised genes present in multiple fish species (mainly teleosts, but in some cases these analyses were extended to the Actinopterygii when sequences from the spotted gar (Lepisosteus oculatus) were available) and available in at least two notothenioids. The amino acid composition of a series of six candidate genes were further analysed in depth at the amino acid sequence level. These genes were superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), neuroglobin, dihydrofolate reductase (both paralogues), p53 and calmodulin. Clustal X alignments were constructed from orthologues identified in the four Notothenioid transcriptomes along with other fish orthologues extracted from either SwissProt (Bateman et al., 2017) or Ensembl release 91 (Aken et al., 2017). Alignment data were visualised and annotated in BoxShade version 3.21 (https://embnet.vital‐ it.ch/software/BOX_form.html). Notothenioid‐specific changes were noted and the type of substitution in terms of amino acid properties was noted. Results A range of amino acid changes were revealed, from virtually complete conservation between the notothenioids and other fish (calmodulin), to one amino acid substitution present in neuroglobin and SOD1, to more extensive changes in dihydrofolate reductase, dihydrofolate reductase‐like and p53. In the case of the latter three genes, notothenioid‐specific changes were at positions that were often highly variable in temperate fish species with up to six different amino acid substitutions and did not result in a definable pattern of directional substitution.

    The spatial, temporal and structural distribution of Antarctic seafloor biodiversity by Jan Jansen, Dipl.-Biol. Under the supervision of Craig R. Johnson Nicole A. Hill Piers K. Dunstan and John McKinlay Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Quantitative Antarctic Science Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), University of Tasmania May 2019 In loving memory of my dad, whose passion for adventure, sport and all of nature’s life and diversity inspired so many kids, including me, whose positive and generous attitude touched so many people’s lives, and whose love for the ocean has carried over to me. The spatial, temporal and structural distribution of Antarctic seafloor biodiversity by Jan Jansen Abstract Biodiversity is nature’s most valuable resource. The Southern Ocean contains significant levels of marine biodiversity as a result of its isolated history and a combination of exceptional environmental conditions. However, little is known about the spatial and temporal distribution of biodiversity on the Antarctic continental shelf, hindering informed marine spatial planning, policy development underpinning regulation of human activity, and predicting the response of Antarctic marine ecosystems to environmental change. In this thesis, I provide detailed insight into the spatial and temporal distribution of Antarctic benthic macrofaunal and demersal fish biodiversity. Using data from the George V shelf region in East Antarctica, I address some of the main issues currently hindering understanding of the functioning of the Antarctic ecosystem and the distribution of biodiversity at the seafloor. The focus is on spatial biodiversity prediction with particular consideration given to previously unavailable environmental factors that are integral in determining where species are able to live, and the poor relationships often found between species distributions and other environmental factors.

Yes No x If published, give details ABSTRACT A field key to early life stages of Antarctic fish caught along with the Antarctic krill is produced. The key includes 8 families and 28 species mainly from the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean and uses distinguished characters which permit rapid field identification. In some cases, however, it is impossible to discriminate among species of the same family by remarkable characters. A species key is not shown for such resemble species and a brief summary of the main morphological features of species and genera is provided. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AS RELATED TO NOMINATED AGENDA ITEMS Agenda Item Finding 4.3 We are producing a practical field key to juvenile fish caught along with the Antarctic Scientific krill. To our knowledge more than 40 species of fish have been found as by-catch. Observation However, the number of dominant fish species found in the krill catch never exceeds 20 species. An useful and practical identification key to these dominant species maybe facilitate the quantitative assessment of fish in the krill catch.

All fish were infected. Parasitic worms were endoparasites: Digenea (eight species), Cestoda (three mixed groups of larval forms), Acanthocephala (two species) and Nematoda (one species in adult and one in larval stage, and two Contracaecum spp. in larval stage). Undetermined parasitic Cope− poda and Hirudinea were external parasites. Summing up previous and new data 25 species and mixed groups were found. Parasites in larval stage using fish as intermediate or paratenic hosts were more numerous than species maturing in fish. For example, 1913 nem− atodes Contracaecum spp. were recorded in one fish, whereas the digenean, Genolinea bowersi, was the most numerous maturing parasite (168 specimens in one fish). Key words: Antarctica, Adelie Land, fish parasites. Introduction Only limited data on the occurrence of helminths in fish at Adelie Land have previously been published. Ten species were recorded in fish examined in neigh− bouring sub−coastal waters, but without numerical data regarding infections (Johnston and Best 1937; Johnston 1938; Johnston and Mawson 1945; Prudhoe 1969; Prudhoe and Bray 1973).

State 4 respiration in the 10 )1.8 °C and 1 °C. Organisms inhabiting the extreme presence of oligomycin, an inhibitor of mitochondrial Antarctic environment must have developed special ATP synthase, quanti®es the leakage of protons through physiological adaptations to overcome the adverse the inner mitochondrial membrane, which causes oxygen eects of low temperatures on metabolism. consumption without concomitant ATP production. Despite uncompensated low resting metabolic rates This parameter shows an unusually high Q of 10 (Clarke 1991), polar animals show a compensatory in- 4.21 0.42 (0±18 °C), which indicates that proton crease in tissue oxidative capacity (van Dijk et al. 1998), leakage does not depend merely on ion diusion but is which is re¯ected in higher mitochondrial densities an enzyme-catalysed process.
