Definition
- This project deals with different aspects of the ecology (trophic position, reproduction, age and growth) of the Antarctic ichthyofauna in the Scotia Arc (South Georgia Islands, South Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands and west Antarctic Peninsula). The fish species studied belong to the endemic Antarctic Suborder Notothenioidei; most of them ... have been or are presently object of commercial exploitation. These are the patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides, the mackerel ice fish Champsocephalus gunnari and the Antarctic cods Notothenia rossii, Gobionotothen gibberifrons and N. coriiceps, among others. Monitoring of demersal fish at inshore sites of the South Shetland Islands, to evaluate the impact of the former offshore commercial fishery in the area in the late 1970s. Effect of long term shore-based sampling programs on near-shore fish populations. Scope of the project is in line with the aim of the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR). (en)
