  • Freshwater Fish in the Falklands
    Freshwater fish in the Falklands Conservation of native zebra trout Echo Goodwin, North Arm School A report by Katherine Ross to the Falkland Islands Government and Falklands Conservation, 2009. Summary • Only two species of freshwater fish, Zebra trout (Aplochiton zebra) and Falklands minnows (Galaxias maculatus) are native to the Falklands. • Brown trout (Salmo trutta) were introduced to the Falklands in the 1940’s and 1950’s. They can spend part of their life cycle at sea which has allowed them to spread across the islands causing a catastrophic decline in the distribution of zebra trout. The ways by which brown trout remove zebra trout probably include predation on juvenile fish and competition for food. • Zebra trout are long lived and therefore adult populations may persist for many years where juveniles no longer survive. Such populations can become extinct suddenly. • Freshwater fish of the Falklands were last surveyed in 1999. • This project investigated the distribution of freshwater fish in West and East Falkland by electrofishing, netting and visual surveys and identified conservation priorities for zebra trout. • Zebra trout populations were found in Lafonia, the south of West Falkland and Port Howard. Brown trout were found across much of Lafonia where their range appears to have expanded since 1999. • Once brown trout have invaded a catchment they are very difficult to remove. Controlling the spread of brown trout is therefore an urgent priority if zebra trout are to be conserved. • Freshwater habitats where zebra trout were found were generally in good condition but in some areas perched culverts may prevent juvenile zebra trout from returning to freshwaters (we think larval zebra trout spend their first few months at sea).

  • The Impact of the Falklands War (1982) on the Peatland Ecosystem of the Islands
    War and Peat conference proceedings, September 2013 The Impact of the Falklands War (1982) on the Peatland Ecosystem of the Islands Jim McAdam Queen’s University Belfast and United Kingdom Falkland Islands Trust Abstract Although the Falkland Islands (52°S) are relatively small (12,000km2), they are a globally important peatland resource. Most of the soils are classified as peat that has been formed under a unique set of climatic conditions and location-specific circumstances. Their estimated carbon stock is equivalent to 66% of the UK total and more than that of Ireland. Most of the land activity of The Falklands War in 1982 was essentially fought on peatlands though the main battles approaching Stanley were on the quartzite hilltops. However the timing of the action (winter), the relatively short duration of the land conflict and the unpreparedness of the combatants for the peatland conditions, meant that the overall impact on the ecosystem was minimal. A small but significant area of minefields is an unwelcome human legacy (which may have some ecosystem benefits) but a greater number of military and other tourists visiting the main battle sites have the potential to increase awareness of the peatland ecosystem. Keywords: climate change, overgrazing, farm restructuring, minefields, military tourism, ecosystem services Introduction The Falkland Islands (i) Background The Falkland Islands are an archipelago of 782 islands (Woods, 2001) situated in the South Atlantic Ocean between latitudes 51°S and 53°S and longitudes 57°W and 62°W. They cover an area of c.12,200km2 (almost exactly the same as Yorkshire or Northern Ireland), and are approximately 500 kilometres from the nearest point on mainland South America.
