Benthopelagic Deep-Sea Food Webs Along a Latitudinal Gradient in the Scotia Sea (Southern Ocean) - Ecosystems Understanding food-web structure is crucial to determine the functioning of ecosystems and sustainably manage resources. The Scotia Sea is an important area for Antarctic krill and toothfish fisheries...

And we finished! ⚓

After 3 intense weeks aboard the FV SIL around #SouthGeorgia and #ShagRocks in the #ScotiaSea sampling #fish 🐟, #cephalopods 🦑🐙 and #crustaceans 🦐🦀 to access how the populations of these species we are back! ⚓

Great experience, working and learning with an amazing team! 🇦🇶

Total mercury (Hg) concentrations in beaks and muscle of the giant warty squid Moroteuthopsis longimana (Southern Ocean) In this study we used beaks and buccal masses (muscle) of the giant warty squid Moroteuthopsis longimana to evaluate if squid beaks can be used as a proxy for mercury (Hg) concentrations in the muscle...
