The behaviour of southern elephant seals from Kerguelen Island (4950′S, 7030′E) was investigated in relation to the oceanographic regions of the Southern Ocean. The oceanographic and the seal behaviour data, including location and diving activity, were collected using a new generation of satellite-relayed devices measuring and transmitting pressure, temperature, and salinity along with locations. Dive duration, maximum diving depth, time spent at the bottom of the dives, and shape of dive profiles were compared between male and female seals, and were related to the oceanographic characteristics of areas prospected by the seals. Most animals travelled to the Antarctic shelf. However, during winter, adult females travelled away from the... |

This is a study on surficial sediments and bottom water physico-chemical characteristics of the San Jorge Gulf (SW Atlantic, Argentina)during spring 1999 - winter 2000 (first studied period), autumn 2001- summer 2002 (second studied period)and winter 2003 (third studied period), based on samples obtained during research cruises carried out on board of the INIDEP (Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Pesquero)research vessels. Environmental variables such as temperature, salinity, density, oxygen and bottom water chlorophyll a content as well as granulometric fractions, total organic matter, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorous, chlorophyll a and phaeopigments in sediment concentration and depth were analyzed. The origen and... |
