Abstract In the Southern Ocean, at‐sea distributions of most predators Antarctic krill are poorly known, primarily because tracking studies have only been undertaken on a restricted set species, and then at limited number sites. For chinstrap penguins, one abundant breeding across Peninsula, we show that habitat models developed utilizing distance from colony bearing to shelf‐edge, adjusting for density Pygoscelis penguins other colonies, can be used predict, with high level confidence,...
Abstract We use United Kingdom Earth System Model simulations from the Coupled Intercomparison Project 6 to analyze Ross Gyre (RG) dynamics during historical 1850–2014 period and under two contrasting future climate‐change scenarios. The modeled RG is relatively stable, with an extent strength that agree observations. projections exhibit eastward gyre expansion into Amundsen‐Bellingshausen Seas starts 2040s. associated cyclonic ocean circulation enhances onshore transport of warm Circumpolar...

The variability of temperature and salinity in the Irish Sea over 40 year period 1960–1999 is investigated using a free‐running fine‐resolution local area model. skill model to represent observed assessed conductivity‐temperature‐depth survey data (3397 profiles) long time series measurements from Cypris station (southwest Isle Man). This clearly demonstrates that can reproduce seasonal longer‐term cycles temperature, with mean RMS errors −0.01°C 0.78°C. Particularly apparent long‐term...
Understanding the key drivers of population connectivity in marine environment is essential for effective management natural resources. Although several different approaches to evaluating have been used, they are rarely integrated quantitatively. Here, we use a 'seascape genetics' approach, by combining oceanographic modelling and microsatellite analyses, understand dominant influences on genetic structure two Antarctic fishes with contrasting life histories, Champsocephalus gunnari...
Climate change is impacting high-latitude fjord circulation with consequences for the transport of marine biota essential supporting local ecosystems. Currently, little understood about oceanographic variability in sub-Antarctic island fjords such as Cumberland Bay, largest on South Georgia Southern Ocean. Bay split into two arms, West and East a key spawning site ecologically commercially important mackerel icefish. Through use high-resolution three-dimensional hydrodynamic model, seasonal...
Abstract To study the transport of plaice ( Pleuronectes platessa L.) eggs and larvae in eastern Irish Sea, we constructed a 3D‐baroclinic physical model coupled it to particle‐tracking scheme that allowed aspects larval behaviour be simulated. Starting positions for were based upon data from series ichthyoplankton surveys final compared with results settled distributions two beam trawl conducted on beaches around Sea. If simulated was limited passive drift or horizontal swimming, particles...
The waters around South Georgia are among the most productive in Southern Ocean, with zooplankton populations close to island, particular Antarctic krill, supporting vast colonies of higher predators. However, our understanding processes governing variability supply these food resources is limited by poor spatial and temporal resolution available data. Here, we use a numerical modeling approach examine underlying physical driving recruitment retention shelf. Variability magnitude...
Abstract The northeast periphery of the Scotia Sea hosts one largest chlorophyll‐a blooms Southern Ocean. This bloom peaks to northwest island South Georgia, extending eastward for hundreds kilometers. Although Ocean has many islands similar size, Georgia is ecologically most significant: It not only sustains Ocean's and diverse ecosystems but also constitutes its single important region biological carbon sequestration. While exceptional nature Georgia's been recognized widely, both physical...
Abstract In the marine environment, understanding biophysical mechanisms that drive variability in larval dispersal and population connectivity is essential for estimating potential impacts of climate change on resilience genetic structure populations. Species whose populations are small, isolated discontinuous distribution will differ fundamentally their response to environmental stress, compared with species broadly distributed, abundant frequently exchange conspecifics. Here, we use an...
