  • 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).

When purchase was being considered, Sally Poncet visited Middle Island and reported that it would have particular significance as a reserve. It was about three miles south of Mare Harbour, bordering the principal navigation channel for shipping resupplying Mount Pleasant through East Cove. Possible future activities associated with oil exploration could increase shipping in the area. Sally was surprised to find good stands of a grass thought to be Mountain Blue Grass Poa alopecurus , over one metre tall and thriving on pure sand. She commented on the lack of information on this grass in the Falklands and stated that identification of the Middle Island plants was required. If it was confirmed as P. alopecurus , its habitat on Middle Island suggested that it could have potential as a coloniser and stabiliser of eroded ground.

    Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences June 2016, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-19 ISSN: 2334-2404 (Print), 2334-2412 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jaes.v5n1a1 From Feral to fully farmed: 250 years of Cattle on the Falkland Islands, 1763-2013 R. Trevor Wilson1 Abstract A very few cattle were landed on the Falkland by the French in 1763, later augmented by about 60 head by the Spanish. Unoccupied from 1770 to 1820, reports then indicated 20,000 to 100,000 head roaming East Falkland. From the 1830s cattle were hunted for hides, an activity formalized through (British) Government land grants and slaughter licences. During the 1840s Government tried to attract settlers and sheep began to super cede cattle. There were occasional uncoordinated attempts to improve the genetics through introduction of “superior” breeds. An experimental farm established in the 1920s was short-lived as cattle numbers declined and sheep numbers increased. Further sporadic cattle imports were made during the mid twentieth century. Artificial insemination was introduced in the 1970s with imported British beef and dairy breed semen. A National Beef Herd was established in 1997 to breed superior cattle – mainly via artificial insemination and embryo transfer – able to produce organic or “near-organic” beef finished at 24-30 months under the harsh environment of the Falklands with a view to obtaining access to the EU market. Local farmers collectively own about 6000 cattle in small herds whose main objective is to supply household milk and beef.

  • Goose Green Friday 28Th May 1982
    “Sunray Down!” The Battle of Goose Green Friday 28th May 1982 A Scenario for ‘Battlefront: Modern’ By R Mark Davies Historical Background When the Argentine Junta congratulated themselves over their successful invasion of the lightly-defended British Falkland Islands on 2nd April 1982, they fully expected the British Government to acquiesce and accept Argentine sovereignty over the archipelago. They expected to leave a token garrison on the islands, ethnically cleanse the fiercely British population and move to attack the real threat to their power in South America – Chile. However, the British response to the invasion was far more belligerent than even the most pessimistic Argentine forecast and a large British amphibious Task Force was soon sailing south. The Junta were now faced with a dilemma; since the seizure of the Falklands they had been ramping up to a war with Chile, which was similarly mobilising her armed forces for war. This mobilisation of forces left precious little with which to garrison the Falklands, but a garrison force had to be found. A divisional-sized force of two infantry brigades was therefore scraped up from across Argentina, regardless of their suitability or preparedness for Arctic warfare. The first British ground forces arrived in the theatre of war on 21st April, as SAS special forces landed on South Georgia. The Argentine garrison of South Georgia surrendered on 25th April to a joint Royal Marine/SAS/SBS/Royal Navy force and attention moved inexorably toward the Falkland Islands. The first major engagements occurred on 1st May: a lone RAF Vulcan bomber, flying a marathon mission from Ascension Island, bombed the main Argentine base at Port Stanley Airport, followed closely by Sea Harrier strikes and naval bombardment from Task Force warships.
