  • Species Status Assessment Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes Fosteri)
    SPECIES STATUS ASSESSMENT EMPEROR PENGUIN (APTENODYTES FOSTERI) Emperor penguin chicks being socialized by male parents at Auster Rookery, 2008. Photo Credit: Gary Miller, Australian Antarctic Program. Version 1.0 December 2020 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services Program Branch of Delisting and Foreign Species Falls Church, Virginia Acknowledgements: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Penguins are flightless birds that are highly adapted for the marine environment. The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species. Emperors are near the top of the Southern Ocean’s food chain and primarily consume Antarctic silverfish, Antarctic krill, and squid. They are excellent swimmers and can dive to great depths. The average life span of emperor penguin in the wild is 15 to 20 years. Emperor penguins currently breed at 61 colonies located around Antarctica, with the largest colonies in the Ross Sea and Weddell Sea. The total population size is estimated at approximately 270,000–280,000 breeding pairs or 625,000–650,000 total birds. Emperor penguin depends upon stable fast ice throughout their 8–9 month breeding season to complete the rearing of its single chick. They are the only warm-blooded Antarctic species that breeds during the austral winter and therefore uniquely adapted to its environment. Breeding colonies mainly occur on fast ice, close to the coast or closely offshore, and amongst closely packed grounded icebergs that prevent ice breaking out during the breeding season and provide shelter from the wind. Sea ice extent in the Southern Ocean has undergone considerable inter-annual variability over the last 40 years, although with much greater inter-annual variability in the five sectors than for the Southern Ocean as a whole.

  • Multidecadal Warming and Density Loss in the Deep Weddell Sea, Antarctica
    15 NOVEMBER 2020 S T R A S S E T A L . 9863 Multidecadal Warming and Density Loss in the Deep Weddell Sea, Antarctica VOLKER H. STRASS,GERD ROHARDT,TORSTEN KANZOW,MARIO HOPPEMA, AND OLAF BOEBEL Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum fur€ Polar- und Meeresforschung, Bremerhaven, Germany (Manuscript received 16 April 2020, in final form 10 August 2020) ABSTRACT: The World Ocean is estimated to store more than 90% of the excess energy resulting from man-made greenhouse gas–driven radiative forcing as heat. Uncertainties of this estimate are related to undersampling of the subpolar and polar regions and of the depths below 2000 m. Here we present measurements from the Weddell Sea that cover the whole water column down to the sea floor, taken by the same accurate method at locations revisited every few years since 1989. Our results show widespread warming with similar long-term temperature trends below 700-m depth at all sampling sites. The mean heating rate below 2000 m exceeds that of the global ocean by a factor of about 5. Salinity tends to increase—in contrast to other Southern Ocean regions—at most sites and depths below 700 m, but nowhere strongly enough to fully compensate for the warming effect on seawater density, which hence shows a general decrease. In the top 700 m neither temperature nor salinity shows clear trends. A closer look at the vertical distribution of changes along an ap- proximately zonal and a meridional section across the Weddell Gyre reveals that the strongest vertically coherent warming is observed at the flanks of the gyre over the deep continental slopes and at its northern edge where the gyre connects to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC).

Moran!, Ludmilla Shalapyonok! !Department of Biology, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA "Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York, Stony Brook, NY 11794-5000, USA Received 1 June 1999; received in revised form 15 September 1999; accepted 1 October 1999 Abstract Microplankton abundances and phytoplankton mortality rates were determined at six stations during four cruises spanning three seasons in the Ross Sea polynya, Antarctica (early spring, Oct.}Nov. 1996; mid-late summer, Jan.}Feb. 1997; fall, Apr. 1997; mid-late spring, Nov.}Dec. 1997). Rates of microzooplankton herbivory were measured using a modi"ed dilution technique, as well as by examining the rate of disappearance of phytoplankton (chlorophyll) in samples incubated in the dark (i.e. grazing in the absence of phytoplankton growth). Strong seasonal cycles of phytoplankton and microzooplankton abundance were observed during the study. Microzooplankton abundance varied by more than three orders of magnitude during the four cruises, and was positively correlated with phytoplankton biomass over the entire data set. Nevertheless, microzooplankton grazing was insu$cient to impact signi"cantly phytoplankton standing stocks during most of the experiments performed in this perenially cold environment. Only thirteen out of a total of 51 experiments yielded phytoplank- ton mortality rates that were signi"cantly di!erent from zero. The highest mortality rate observed in this study (0.26 d\) was modest compared with maximal rates that have been observed in temperate and tropical ecosystems.

  • Marine Ecosystems and Global Change
    IInternationalnternational GGeosphere-Biosphereeosphere-Biosphere PProgrammerogramme IGBP Science No. 5 MMarinearine EEcosystemscosystems aandnd GGloballobal CChangehange Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics Why GLOBEC? The Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics Project (GLOBEC) was adopted in 1995 by the International Geosphere-Biosphere Pro- gramme as a new Project, with co-sponsorship from the Scientifi c Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and the Intergovernme- ntal Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC). Its goal is to “advance our understanding of the structure and functioning of the global ocean ecosystem, and its response to physical forcing, so that a capability can be developed to forecast the responses of the marine ecosystem to global change.” GLOBEC considers global change in the broad sense, encompass- ing the gradual processes of climate change and its impacts on marine systems, as well as those shorter-term changes resulting from anthropogenic pressures, such as population growth in coastal areas, increased pollution, overfi shing, changing fi shing practices and changing human use of the seas. GLOBEC has four detailed scientifi c objectives: 1. To better understand how multi-scale physical environmental processes force large-scale changes in marine ecosystems. 2. To determine the relationship between structure and dyna- mics in a variety of oceanic systems which typify signifi cant components of the global ocean ecosystem, with emphasis on individuals and populations of key species and trophodynamic pathways. 3. To determine the impacts of global change on stock dynamics using coupled physical, biological and chemical models linked to appropriate observation systems, and to develop the capa- bility to predict future impacts. 4. To determine how changing marine ecosystems will affect the Earth System by identifying and quantifying feedback mecha- nisms.

  • Salp/Krill Interactions in the Southern Ocean:Spatial Segregation and Implications for the Carbon flux
    Deep-Sea Research II 49 (2002) 1881–1907 Salp/krill interactions in the Southern Ocean:spatial segregation and implications for the carbon flux E.A. Pakhomova,*, P.W. Fronemanb, R. Perissinottoc a Department of Zoology, University of Fort Hare, P/Bag X1314, Alice 5700, South Africa b Southern Ocean Group, Department of Zoology and Entomology, Rhodes University, P.O. Box 94, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa c School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Natal, Durban 4041, South Africa Abstract Available data on the spatial distribution and feeding ecophysiology of Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, and the tunicate, Salpa thompsoni, in the Southern Ocean are summarized in this study. Antarctic krill and salps generally display pronounced spatial segregation at all spatial scales. This appears to be the result of a clear biotopical separation of these key species in the Antarctic pelagic food web. Krill and salps are found in different water masses or water mass modifications, which are separated by primary or secondary frontal features. On the small-scale (o100 km), Antarctic krill and salps are usually restricted to the specific water parcels, or are well segregated vertically. Krill and salp grazing rates estimated using the in situ gut fluorescence technique are among the highest recorded in the Antarctic pelagic food web. Although krill and salps at times may remove the entire daily primary production, generally their grazing impact is moderate (p50% of primary production). The regional ecological consequences of years of high salp densities may be dramatic. If the warming trend, which is observed around the Antarctic Peninsula and in the Southern Ocean, continues, salps may become a more prominent player in the trophic structure of the Antarctic marine ecosystem.

Pond,3 and Louise C. Ireland 1 1 British Antarctic Survey, Natural Environment Research Council, High Cross, Cambridge, United Kingdom 2 Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Prospect Place, The Hoe, Plymouth, United Kingdom 3 Scottish Association of Marine Science, Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory, Oban, Argyll, Scotland, United Kingdom Abstract Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) were sampled in contrasting habitats: a seasonally ice-covered deep ocean (Lazarev Sea), ice-free shelves at their northern range (South Georgia) and the Antarctic Peninsula (Bransfield Strait), and shelf and oceanic sites in the Scotia Sea. Across 92 stations, representing a year-round average, the food volume in krill stomachs comprised 71 6 29% algae, 17 6 21% protozoans, and 12 6 25% metazoans. Fatty acid trophic markers showed that copepods were consistently part of krill diet, not a switch food. In open waters, both diatom and copepod consumption increased with phytoplankton abundance. Under sea ice, ingestion of diatoms became rare, whereas feeding on copepods remained constant. During winter, larvae contained high but variable proportions of diatom markers, whereas in postlarvae the role of copepods increased with krill body length. Overwintering differed according to habitat.
