Scotia Sea
part of the Atlantic section of the Antarctic Ocean between South Georgia and the South Sandwich and South Orkney islands; in the west, it is linked to the Pacific Ocean by Drake Passage. The Scotia Sea has an area of more than 1.3 million sq km and depths of 5,870 m. The average surface temperature of the water varies from 6 °C to - 1 °C; the salinity is approximately 34 parts per thousand. For a considerable part of the year, the southern part of the sea is covered with drift ice. The area is commercially important for whaling. The Scotia Sea was named in 1932 in honor of the ship used by W. Bruce on his Scottish expedition to Antarctica. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Led by Dr Geraint Tarling, a BAS researcher based in Cambridge, UK, the research team studied the composition and structure of 4525 separate krill swarms in the Scotia Sea, a vast expanse of water in the Southern Ocean. ABSTRACT Management of the Nova Scotia sea urchin fishery includes several unusual features: one license per fishing zone, fishers increase resource yields over natural levels by controlling the sea urchin-macrophyte cycle, fishers scale fishing effort to market demand, fishers map the resource in their zones, a reference point for good resource management based on a conspicuous habitat feature, an audit of zone management success, and low ongoing input from the management agency. Others address microbial ecology, hydrothermal animal communities, and vent fauna, and the case studies consider the east Scotia Sea, the Bismarck Sea, and the West Philippine Basin. |
