The ZooGene database will be designed to include all species of these groups and to allow expansion to additional zooplankton groups. The ZooGene partnership includes four P.I.s and thirteen expert taxonomic consultants from seven countries. Zooplankton samples will be sorted from existing archival collections, obtained in coordination with planned oceanographic research efforts, and collected during National Marine Fisheries Service field surveys. The taxonomic experts will confirm species' identifications; DNA sequencing will be done at the University of New Hampshire and, in some cases, in other partners' laboratories. For each species, a DNA type sequence will be determined for a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene; multiple mtCOI sequences will be included as necessary to reflect intraspecific variation. The ZooGene database will be designed, created, managed, maintained, and distributed as part of the proposed work; the data will be integrated into the Ocean Biogeographical Information System (OBIS). Uses for and research applications of the ZooGene database include: 1) uniform standards of species' identification, 2) evaluation of the taxonomic significance of geographic variation within widespread species, 3) identification of cryptic species, 4) accurate estimation of species' diversity, 5) determination of evolutionary relationships among species, and 6) design of rapid molecularly-based species' identification protocols. Education and outreach efforts will include: training of graduate students at UNH and UW; a hands-on Molecular Systematics Workshop at UNH during Summer, 2001; exchanges between the P.I.s, international partners, and their colleagues and students; inclusion of ZooGen molecular and environmental data in the OBIS database, among others; creation and maintenance of a project web site; production of a CD with the ZooGene database and simple search tools; and informal education with the assistance of UNH Sea Grant.

The data is coming in (i.e. the dataset is continually being added to and should not be considered complete) from a growing set of globally distributed standard transects from the high inter-tidal zone to the depth of 20m, most of which will be repeated, and many of which are being uploading in stages (i.e. taxonomic detail will improve with time). Target habitats are globally distributed algal/ hard bottom and sea-grass/ soft bottom communities. For each study site, replicate samples are collected at high, mid and low inter-tidal and 1, 5 and 10m sub-tidal depth (where possible at 15 and 20m). The NaGISA protocols (which are standardized) include: (1) Passive sampling, photography and observational techniques, estimates of percent cover of colonial invertebrates and rhizoidal macro algae and counts of algal stripes and solitary fauna within quadrates. (2) Active sampling, core samples of sea grass beds, and careful removal of organisms from small quadrants within macro algal sites. (3) Assessment, measurements of surface and bottom seawater temperature and a visual classification of substrata. For more details please see the project website http://www.nagisa.coml.org/.

Another objective is to combine Indo-Pacific data with existing databases for Western Atlantic and Europe marine mollusk species and for higher taxa of mollusks to form the basis of a global database of Mollusca. This database will provide a uniform framework for linking specimen records from museum collections and data from fisheries to show spatial and temporal patterns of occurrence and abundance. This datasource provides primary access to the Indo-Pacific Mollusc Dataset using the obis schema. Data in the Indo-Paciffic Mollusc database use names from the Indo-Pacific Mollusc project together with point records from the Academy of Natural Sciences and the Australian Museum. Specimens referenced in this data set may be in the collections of either the Australian Museum or the Academy of Natural Sciences, but may have current identifications in those collections that are junior synonymys (or other junior names) of names in current use in the Indo-Pacific Mollusc database.

Little is known about key aspects of the biology of threatened and commercially valued species upon which fisheries assessments are critically dependent. POST results will give much ... needed information about their behavior and provide unprecedented insight into the mysteries of migration. The POST project uses newly developed acoustic technology to track the movement of individual animals. Tags implanted in the animals' abdomens send out unique signals, which are picked up by receivers placed on the ocean floor. The migration path of tagged animals can be reconstructed from the data gathered. Most species and many life history stages can be studied using POST. Current OBIS extraction of POST provides one record per tag per hour, i.e. RelatedCatalogItem is the serial number of the animals' electronic tag, which by year is the same animal. ObservedIndividualCount is the number of times the tag was detected during the specified hour.

In the coastal upwelling system of northern and central/south of Chile a data base of marine zooplankton has been created after more than 15 years of study. Samples collections are available from 18º S to 36º S. This zooplankton sustains a strong fishery economy in Chile mostly based on small pelagic fishes, such as anchovies and sardines. Zooplankton species have been identified with help from well-known experts for copepod and euphausiid taxonomy. Many samples from other taxa are available and their identification is under progress. It is thus expected that the data base for zooplankton of the Pacific sub-node will continuously grow in the next few months. zooplancton, zooplankton Escribano, R., Hidalgo, P., Manríquez, K., 2005.

While the shelf exhibits communities dominated by a variety of eukaryotes living under the oxic sub-Antarctic waters, beneath it a very diverse prokaryote-dominated system is found, in particular during the long inter-El Niño periods, under the hypoxic Sub-equatorial waters and within sulfide-rich sediments. Further down, normoxic Intermediate and Pacific Deep waters allow for a most varied benthic fauna where oasis of methane-seep dependent communities are also found. The collections here reported originate from samples taken during the development of FONDECYT Project 950001 (1996-97), the "MinOx" Cruise (Oxygen Minimum Zone cruise) to northern Chile of March 2000 and the German SONNE (PUCK) Expedition of 2001 along the Chilean margin (20 – 42o) and in the range of 20-2000m.

Eva Ramirez-Llodra, Maria Blanco National Oceanography Centre Southampton, European Way, SO14 3ZH Southampton, UK ezr@icm.csice.es ChEssBase is a dynamic relational database available online since early 2005 (http://www.soc.soton.ac.uk/chess/database/database.html). The aim of ChEssBase is to provide taxonomical, biological, ecological and distributional data for all species described from deep-water chemosynthetic ecosystems, as well as information on available samples, images, bibliography and information on the habitats. These habitats include hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, whale falls, sunken wood and areas of minimum oxygen that intersect with the continental margin or seamounts. Since the discovery of hydrothermal vents in 1977 and of cold seep communities in 1984, over 590 species from vents and over 230 species from seeps have been described (Van Dover et al., 2002. Science 295: 1253-1257). Chemosynthetically fuelled communities have now also been found on large organic falls to the deep-sea floor such as whale falls and sunken wood, as well as on benthic zones of oxygen minimum. The data gathered in the last 30 years has shown that some species are shared amongst these ecosystems and our knowledge of their phylogeography improves with every new discovery. New species are continuously being discovered and described from research programmes around the globe and therefore ChEssBase is in active development and new data are being entered regularly. At present, ChEssBase includes data on 806 species and 432 genera from 76 chemosynthetic sites around the globe. These data contain information (when available) on the taxonomy, morphology, trophic level, reproduction, endemicity, habitat type and distribution. There are now 954 papers in our reference database. The first version of ChEssBase was available online in early 2005. In summer 2005, ChEssBase and the InterRidge biological database (www.interridge.org) were fused into a single source of information for biological data from chemosynthetic ecosystems (Ramirez-Llodra et al., 2005 IR News, 14). This second version of ChEssBase is available online since August 2005, with new records as well as new search and download options. Since December 2005, ChEssBase is integrated in the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS, www.iobis.org). chemosynthetic ecosystems, hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, whale falls, sunken wood, species distribution, samples, references.

Multivariate statistics indicate that the sampling stations cover a heterogeneous area with different types of community composition, as might be expected, since the Pechora Sea encompasses a wide range of depths and oceanographic conditions. However, some distinct station groupings were evident, which are considered to represent different faunal community types. Around the Island of Kolguyev, the fauna was dominated by sub-surface detritivorous Polychaeta. On the coast of Novaya Zemlya, the Chernaya Fjord contained an opportunistic faunal composition. The deep area immediately south of Novaya Zemlya was characterised by high numbers of large, surface deposit feeding Polychaeta. The Kara Strait area showed some spatial variation in faunal characteristics, but generally contained high numbers of surface deposit feeding Polychaeta and Crustacea, as well as encrusting suspensivores on stones. The stations sampled between Kolguyev and the Pechora Bay contained large amounts of macrofaunal Foraminifera and detritivorous Polychaeta, while the fauna sampled in the Pechora Bay was typical of northern, low salinity environments. Canonical correspondence analyses indicate that water depth and sediment type play a major role in structuring the benthic fauna. The distribution of community types described in this investigation largely follow those outlined in previous Russian investigations, despite the use of different analytical strategies. This investigation provides the background for an intercomparison of methodologies in faunal analyses.

The main objectives of this sub-program are the knowledge of biodiversity and the evaluation of the sustainable potential of the faunistic resources of the exclusive economic zone of the southeastern and southern regions of Brazil. The field collections were taken from December 13th 1997 to April 20th 1998 in the continental shelf and slope (60 – 810 m depth) with the Oceanographic Vessel Prof. W. Besnard (IO-USP). The fauna was collected using the benthic samplers van Veen and Box-corer and the rectangular dredge, summing up 322 samples. In some cases, data of organisms scrapped from hard substrates were also presented. The following groups are presented: Porifera, Cnidaria (Hydrozoa, Scyphozoaand and Anthozoa), Sipuncula, Mollusca (Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Cephalopoda, Polyplacophora and Solenogastres), Annelida (Polychaeta), Crustacea (Ostracoda, Cirripedia, Decapoda, Stomatopoda and Tanaidacea), Bryozoa, Brachiopoda, Echinodermata (Ophiuroidea, Asteroidea, Crinoidea, Holothuroidea and Echinoidea) and Chordata (Ascidiacea). A total of 131.369 individuals were recorded and classified into 28 higher taxa. The most abundant and frequent groups were Porifera, Cnidaria, Sipuncula, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda, Polychaeta, Crustacea, Ophiuroidea, Bryozoa and Brachiopoda. Bryozoa was the most abundant group (30.501 records) followed by Polychaeta (22.412 inds), Ophiuroidea (16.918), Crustacea (14.240), Brachiopoda (12.834) and Bivalvia (11.761). The collected data reveal a very rich fauna. The structure of the benthic fauna in the study area was characterized by the association between higher abundances of organisms with sandy and muddy substrata, both with low contents of calcium carbonate (100 – 200 m). The bathymetric distribution of the higher taxa was also demonstrated to be associated with the substrate type. The higher taxa recorded in this study are being analyzed by experts to enable a more precise evaluation of the biodiversity. A total of 1012 taxa were identified up to date and a significant number of new occurrences and new species were reported. The identified material was placed in biological collections of museums or institutions with curatorial tradition. REVIZEE South Score / Benthos - Amaral, A.C.Z. & Rossi-Wongtschowski, C.L.D.B.

Increasing exploration and exploitation of fossil hydrocarbon resources in the deep-sea prompted the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior to support an investigation of the structure and function of the assemblages of organisms that live in association with the sea floor in the deep-sea. The program, Deep Gulf of Mexico Benthos or DGoMB, is studying the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) continental slope from water depths of 300 meters on the upper continental slope out to greater than 3,000 meters water depth seaward of the base of the Sigsbee and Florida Escarpments. The study is focused on areas that are the most likely targets of future resource exploration and exploitation. However, to develop a Gulf-wide perspective of deep-sea communities, sampling in areas beyond those thought to be potential areas for exploration has been included in the study design. A major enhancement in the program is the extension of the transects onto the abyssal plain of the central Gulf of Mexico through collaborative studies with Mexican scientists. This additional work effort will allow assessment of benthic communities structure and function throughout the basin by sampling the deepest habitats in the region. The program is designed to gain a better ability to predict variations in the structure and function of animal assemblages in relation to water depth, geographic location, time and overlying water mass. Biological studies are integrated with measurements of physical and chemical hydrographic parameters, sediment geochemical properties and geological characteristics that are known to influence benthic community distributions and dynamics. Eight (8) hypotheses are being tested on the basis of measures of benthic community structure. It is hypothesized that community structure varies as a function of: 1) water depth, 2) geographic location (east vs. west), 3) association with canyons, 4) association with mid-slope basins, 5) sea surface primary productivity, 6) proximity to hydrocarbon seeps, 7) time (seasonal and inter-annual scales), and 8) association with the base of escarpments.

Increasing exploration and exploitation of fossil hydrocarbon resources in the deep-sea prompted the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior to support an investigation of the structure and function of the assemblages of organisms that live in association with the sea floor in the deep-sea. The program, Deep Gulf of Mexico Benthos or DGoMB, is studying the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) continental slope from water depths of 300 meters on the upper continental slope out to greater than 3,000 meters water depth seaward of the base of the Sigsbee and Florida Escarpments. The study is focused on areas that are the most likely targets of future resource exploration and exploitation. However, to develop a Gulf-wide perspective of deep-sea communities, sampling in areas beyond those thought to be potential areas for exploration has been included in the study design. A major enhancement in the program is the extension of the transects onto the abyssal plain of the central Gulf of Mexico through collaborative studies with Mexican scientists. This additional work effort will allow assessment of benthic communities structure and function throughout the basin by sampling the deepest habitats in the region. The program is designed to gain a better ability to predict variations in the structure and function of animal assemblages in relation to water depth, geographic location, time and overlying water mass. Biological studies are integrated with measurements of physical and chemical hydrographic parameters, sediment geochemical properties and geological characteristics that are known to influence benthic community distributions and dynamics. Eight (8) hypotheses are being tested on the basis of measures of benthic community structure. It is hypothesized that community structure varies as a function of: 1) water depth, 2) geographic location (east vs. west), 3) association with canyons, 4) association with mid-slope basins, 5) sea surface primary productivity, 6) proximity to hydrocarbon seeps, 7) time (seasonal and inter-annual scales), and 8) association with the base of escarpments.

Increasing exploration and exploitation of fossil hydrocarbon resources in the deep-sea prompted the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior to support an investigation of the structure and function of the assemblages of organisms that live in association with the sea floor in the deep-sea. The program, Deep Gulf of Mexico Benthos or DGoMB, is studying the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) continental slope from water depths of 300 meters on the upper continental slope out to greater than 3,000 meters water depth seaward of the base of the Sigsbee and Florida Escarpments. The study is focused on areas that are the most likely targets of future resource exploration and exploitation. However, to develop a Gulf-wide perspective of deep-sea communities, sampling in areas beyond those thought to be potential areas for exploration has been included in the study design. A major enhancement in the program is the extension of the transects onto the abyssal plain of the central Gulf of Mexico through collaborative studies with Mexican scientists. This additional work effort will allow assessment of benthic communities structure and function throughout the basin by sampling the deepest habitats in the region. The program is designed to gain a better ability to predict variations in the structure and function of animal assemblages in relation to water depth, geographic location, time and overlying water mass. Biological studies are integrated with measurements of physical and chemical hydrographic parameters, sediment geochemical properties and geological characteristics that are known to influence benthic community distributions and dynamics. Eight (8) hypotheses are being tested on the basis of measures of benthic community structure. It is hypothesized that community structure varies as a function of: 1) water depth, 2) geographic location (east vs. west), 3) association with canyons, 4) association with mid-slope basins, 5) sea surface primary productivity, 6) proximity to hydrocarbon seeps, 7) time (seasonal and inter-annual scales), and 8) association with the base of escarpments.

Subsequently, the collection has been expanded many times over through field work, donation, exchange and purchase. Its historical value was greatly increased by absorption of important shell collections housed the Transvaal Museum (1978) and Albany Museum (1980), as well as the Rodney Wood collection from the Seychelles received from the Mutare Museum in Zimbabwe and the Kurt Grosch collection, built up over 25 years of residence in northern Mozambique. The mollusc collection now ranks among the 15 largest in the world and is certainly the largest both in Africa and on the Indian Ocean rim.

In this context, the benthos has an important role, since it is one of the main components of marine food webs, being food to many pelagic and demersal fishing resources or as a living resource itself. This work presents a characterization of the phyto- and zoobenthos from the continental shelf and slope of the central Brazilian coast, between Salvador, in Bahia (13°00’S- 38°31’W) to São Tomé Cape, in Rio de Janeiro State (22°12’S - 41°15 W). Samples were taken in 222 stations, during 4 oceanographic cruises (1996-2002). Sampling was made basically using rectangular dredges, Van Veen grab and a box-corer. The region presents a rich benthic fauna and flora, especially at areas such as Abrolhos reefs, Vitória-Trindade and Almirante Salda nha seamounts and near Salvador (BA) and São Tomé Cape (RJ). Macroalgae occurred mainly at continental shelf and upper slope, with green algae as the most rich and abundant group, despite the biomass contribution of brown algae in some places. Thirty-one macrobenthic groups were found, with one third occurring in more than 70% of stations. Most organisms belong to epifauna (animals living on the substrate), in part due to the kind of equipment used (basically dredges) and also to the main bottom type found in the region (mainly biogenic substrata, with algae nodules and calcareous sediment). This substrate favours the presence of epifauna, composed mainly by sessile animals such as sponges and corals, the most abundant organisms in terms of biomass (ca. 85%). Infauna (animals that live buried in the sediment) was represented by various taxa of polychaets, sipuculans, echinoderms, small crustaceans and mollusks, the two latter being numerically dominant. The macrofauna composition and abundance were r elated to botto m characteristics and local depth, with organisms being dominant in shallow waters (up to 100m depth) with biogenic substrate such as red algae nodules. Environmental heterogeneity given by differences in shelf and slope substrata, the presence of a biogenic bottom, estuaries, coral reefs, seamounts and canyons provides a great variety of microhabitats and it seems to be responsible for high benthic diversity found. Despite the lack of a precise evaluation of the economic potential of benthic living resources, the REVIZEE program provided an excellent species inventory, identifying species with economic value, new species occurrences to Brazilian coast and new species to Science, specially from the outer shelf and continental slope.

Characterization of the structure of phytoplanktónic community present in the zone of the port, mining project Collahuasi. The studies related to the characterization of the phytoplanktonic community in Patache sector began with the elaboration of a line base to evaluate the possible impact that there would cause in the system the activities involved in the Project Collahuasi. The results allowed detecting a community structure similar to described for other coastal zones. Besides, there was detected a composition of species, abundance and biomass, typical of a phytoplankton of systems influenced by events of upwelling, where the domineering group is that of the diatomeas. The variability of the upwelling governs significantly the behavior sucessional of the phytoplankton, which meets reflected during the different analyzed epochs. In base of the previous thing, the knowledge of the fluctuations of the phytoplankton in the time and spatially, is fundamental to understand the possible changes that it can suffer for action antropogenic. The execution of monitorings allows to establish this way the variations " normal or not " that could suffer this complex group. CHIPANA 2003: Internal project DI05-03 (Financed by the Direction of Investigation of the University Arturo Prat). Variability to mesoscale of the physical and chemical structure that modulates the processes of fertilization, concentration and food availability in an area of spawning of Engraulis ringens (21°15'S - 21°21'S) during the maximum reproductive period. Considering the precedents of the adjacent zone to the Loa river, as an area of retention of eggs and larval of Engraulis ringens, the present project tries to analyze this reproductive habitat depending on the factors that would distinguish it like favorably for the development of the first stage of this species. On the base of the previous thing there will be characterized the patterns of circulation of the zone and the physical structure and chemistry associated with the variability of the winds and to the intensity of the processes of outcrop. The response of the phytoplankton will be evaluated and zooplankton to the physical scenario, across the measurement of the fluctuations space-temporal to improve abundances and biomasses in different fractions of size. With the available information the structure of the component ictioplanktonic will be analyzed, establishing if there are fulfilled the suitable conditions that determine this zone as an area of spawning and breeding depending on the triad of factors. CHIPANA 2004-2005: Internal project DIF22/04 (Financed by the Direction of Investigation of the University Arturo Prat). Program of follow-up and evaluation of the conditions bioceanographics and early stages of Engraulis ringens in one of the principal areas of spawning of the north of Chile: Bay Chipana (21°20'S). On the base of the information obtained during 2003 we propose a program of monitoring of the environmental conditions that favor the presence and high concentration of larval in the zone of the Loa river, depending on the quality and quantity of the food. Monthly we will realize the samplings on three stations (1, 3 and 5 mn of the coast) where there will be obtained vertical profiles of temperature and salinity. Besides, there will be characterized the chemical and biological structure of the water column, across the measurements of oxygen dissolved and nutrients, and the composition and abundance and biomass of fractions autotrofic and heterotrofic, putting emphasis in all the forms that constitute an article nourishing for the larval of anchoveta. fitoplancton, phytoplankton Herrera, L., Escribano, R.

The study material was collected during three oceanographic cruises carried out between 1998 and 2000, in the area from the Real River (BA) to the São Tomé Cape (RJ), including submarine banks and the oceanic islands Martin Vaz and Trindade. The REVIZEE Program made possible great improvements in the knowledge of the larval fish species that constitute the ichthyoplankton community present in the area delimited by the Central SCORE. This program significantly advanced the study of larval fishes along the Brazilian coast, especially the central coast where information about larval oceanic fishes was sparse. Accurate identification of the larval fishes in a specific area is fundamentally important for assessment of fisheries resources. The great majority of marine teleost fishes have a larval stage, spending part of their life cycles in the plankton. The exploitation potential of these resources depends directly on events during this phase of their life cycle. There are many identification guides for the early life stages of fish species occurring in the North Atlantic and Indo-Pacific. However, until now there was no identification guide for larval fishes from Brazil. The present volume is a contribution to the understanding of the larval fishes occurring along the Brazilian coast, mainly those which have a mesopelagic habit. The guide provides information about 13 orders, 95 families and 156 species of larval fishes, of which nine species were recorded for the first time off Brazil. The geographical distributions of several species were extended. The chapters are arranged according to orders, and for each species provide basic information on identification, ecology and distribution along the central coast and worldwide, and the references that were used for species identification and to obtain distribution data. A complete species list includes taxa that were identified to the taxonomic level of order and family and are not represented in the plates. In addition, there is information on ichthyoplankton studies, study area, sampling and identification methodologies. A table lists the occurrence of each taxon during the three oceanographic cruises, and a glossary defines the main terms used in larval fish identification. This atlas contributes to knowledge of larval fishes from the Brazilian coast, and makes this information available to ichthyoplanktologists and to all those interested in plankton studies. We hope that this book will be only the first of many subsequent guides to larval fishes from the Brazilian coast, and that it will advance the study of these organisms in Brazil. Bonecker, A. C.

The specimens were collected during the Central III, Central IV and Bahia 1 campaigns, in the period from 1998 through 2000. The collections were made between the Real River in Bahia (12oS) and Cape São Tomé in Rio de Janeiro (22oS), including the seamounts of the Vitória-Trindade and Martin Vaz chain. The strategy for the plankton study, established by the National Project Proposal, had as its objective to characterize the pelagic environment, in order to evaluate the fishery potential of the continental shelf and slope of the Brazilian EEZ. This atlas is a product of this Program, and focuses on the diagnosis of the taxa identified in these samples. Atlases to aid in the identification of zooplanktonic organisms have been developed for several oceans. The two atlases previously produced for the Southwest Atlantic constitute fundamental contributions to knowledge of the marine zooplankton. However, in Brazil no atlas has yet been composed for the identification of these organisms. Six zoological groups were studied: Subclass Copepoda (70 species), Order Decapoda (30 taxa), Phylum Chaetognatha (17 species), Class Appendicularia (15 species), Order Salpida (8 species) and Order Doliolida (4 species). Several of these taxa are cited for the first time for the Brazilian coast, and the distributions of others have been extended to the southeast coast. This atlas contains general information about the zooplankton, the study area, and the collection methods. The results are presented in the form of an identification plate for each species, containing the diagnosis, ecology, and distribution, the material studied, and the literature sources used for its identification. In this context, this atlas aims to contribute to the identification of the zooplankton of Brazilian coastal waters and to knowledge of the marine pelagic biodiversity. It is intended to continue the present work, completing it with other zoological groups not treated in this study. Bonecker, S.L.C. (ed.) 2006.

Most taxa of marine invertebrates were obtained in this survey. invertebrates China http://digir.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/2003/1.0 NCOS 7956 2006-04-19 3 1000 10000 COLECCIÓN ICTIOLOGICA DEL INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE INVESTIGACIÓN Y DESARROLLO PESQUERO (INIDEP), ARGENTINA - ICHTHYOLOGIC COLLECTION OF THE NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE AND FISHERY DEVELOPMENT (INIDEP) OF ARGENTINA (OBIS South America, SOUTHERN OCEAN SUB-NODE) ictio-inidep mbcousseau@yahoo.com.ar sbarbini@mdp.edu.ar paez@cenpat.edu.ar astarloa@mdp.edu.ar La colección ictiológica se encuentra depositada en el Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero (INIDEP) y está a cargo del Grupo Ictiología del Departamento de Ciencias Marinas, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata. Está conformada por especímenes procedentes principalmente del sector del Atlántico Sur y otros provenientes del Océano Austral, en proximidades de las Islas Georgias, Sandwich y Shetland del Sur. Las muestras fueron obtenidas en su gran mayoría en campañas de investigación llevadas a cabo por buques de investigación de bandera argentina (BI “Cruz del Sur” “Capitán Oca Balda”, “Eduardo L. Holmberg” “Capitán Cánepa”) japonesa (BIP “Orient Maru”, BI “Kayo Maru” y “Shinkai Maru”), soviética (BI “Evrika”) y alemana (BI “Walther Herwig”). Hay además muestras obtenidas a bordo de buques pesqueros comerciales, de bandera argentina y japonesa, y embarcaciones de la flota costera con base en el puerto de Mar del Plata. Los ejemplares han sido fijados primeramente en formol al 10 % y preservados en alcohol al 70 %. Previamente en los peces óseos fue medida la talla (longitud total y estandar), en los cartilaginosos se obtuvo la longitud total y se determinó el sexo.

The almost continuous record span 8 years (1991-1998) with a temporal resolution of 6-13 days. Field work was carried out during the El Niño event of 1991/1992 (6 months), under normal conditions in 1993/1994 (1 years) and the strong 1997-1998 had only a limited impact on the planktic foraminifer flux. The seasonal fluxpattern of planktic foraminifera was marked by high fluxes during austral late winter–early summer (August–January) and low fluxes during the fall–early winter period (March–July). Five species contributed ca. 90% of the total flux of planktic foraminifers: Globigerina bulloides, Neogloboquadrina incompta, N. pachyderma, N. dutertrei, and Globigerinella calida. The most significant El Niño-related signal was a remarkable increase in the flux and abundance of species that, under normal conditions, only accounted for 10% of the planktic foraminiferal assemblage. planktic foraminiferida Marchant M. 2006.

This OBIS product reports the abundance and weight of demersal fish species captured by a variety of trawl gear. Catch rates can be derived using the effort data provided in the "samplesize" field of the OBIS schema. Care should be taken when using multiple types of gear since the catchability of different fish species varies from gear to gear.

The results are from various surveys in this region over a 12 month period in 1981-82, and a full listing of species (with photographs) is given in the documentation. It includes benthic, pelagic and planktonic organisms of the coast as well as those that inhabit the ice-water interface. benthc See Metadata record for details http://aadc-maps.aad.gov.au/aadc/metadata/metadata_redirect.cfm?md=AMD/AU/AADC_00047 No restrictions. http://digir.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/2003/1.0 TB S 732 24-08-2007 04:36:45+1000 3 1000 10000 RMT Trawl catch from 1985/86 V1 ADBEX III voyage (Australian Antarctic Data Centre) trawl_adbex3 http://aadc-maps.aad.gov.au/aadc/biodiversity/ dave.watts(at) aad.gov.au +61 (3) 62 323 586 Graham.Hosie at aad.edu.au +61 3 62 323 364 This dataset contains results from the Antarctic Division BIOMASS Experiment III (ADBEX III) cruise of the Nella Dan. It is the fifth cruise in a series of six, conducting a long term field survey providing data on distribution, abundance and population structure of the krill Euphausia superba in the Prydz Bay region, Antarctica. The prime purpose of ADBEX III was to study the ecology of the Crabeater Seal, and surveys of krill and other zooplankton were taken off Antarctica in the Australian sector (east of Mawson) in the Enderby Land region between October and November 1985. Species identity and abundance data were obtained. The major species investigated were Euphausia superba, Euphausia frigidia, Euphausia crystallorophias and Thysanoessa marcuria. Other pteropods and cephalopods were also studied. A CTD cast and water collection for phytoplankton pigment, nutrients and primary production measurements were also made at each net sampling station. Summary results are listed in the documentation.

It is the first cruise in a series of six designed to assess the distribution and abundance of krill, Euphausia superba. The FIBEX was an international programme co-ordinating the activities of 12 ships from 11 nations in the Southern Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Australia was responsible for surveying an area of the southern Indian Ocean south of 60 degrees and between 60 degrees and 90 degrees east longitude. Surveys of krill and other zooplankton were taken off Antarctica in the Australian sector (Mawson to Davis region) and Prydz Bay in January and March 1981. Species identity and abundance data were obtained. The major species investigated were Euphausia superba, Euphausia frigidia, Euphausia crystallorophias and Thysanoessa marcuria. Other pteropods and cephalopods were also studied. Physical and chemical oceanography data and phytoplankton samples were also obtained, as well as results from hydroacoustic surveys of krill biomass.
