Abstract

Most of the Ross Sea has been designated a marine protected area (MPA), proposed ‘to protect ecosystem structure and function’. To assess effectiveness, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) selected Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae) and emperor (Aptenodytes forsteri) penguins, Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) and Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) as ecosystem change ‘indicator species’. Stable for decades, penguin and seal populations increased during 1998–2018 to surpass historical levels, indicating that change in ecosystem structure and function is underway. We review historical impacts to population trends, decadal datasets of ocean climate and fishing pressure on toothfish. Statistical modelling for Adélie penguins and Weddell seals indicates that variability in climate factors and cumulative extraction of adult toothfish may explain these trends. These mesopredators, and adult toothfish, all prey heavily on Antarctic silverfish (Pleuragramma antarcticum). Toothfish removal may be altering intraguild predation dynamics, leading to competitive release of silverfish and contributing to penguin and seal population changes. Despite decades of ocean/weather change, increases in indicator species numbers around Ross Island only began once the toothfish fishery commenced. The rational-use, ecosystem-based viewpoint promoted by CCAMLR regarding toothfish management needs re-evaluation, including in the context of the Ross Sea Region MPA.

指标物种对南极罗斯海食物网和海洋动力学变化的响应
罗斯海的大部分海域已被指定为海洋保护区 (MPA),其目的是 "保护生态系统结构和功能"。为评估其有效性,南极海洋生物资源保护委员会(CCAMLR)选择了阿德利企鹅(Pygoscelis adeliae)和帝企鹅(Aptenodytes forsteri)、威德尔海豹(Leptonychotes weddellii)和南极洋枪鱼(Dissostichus mawsoni)作为生态系统变化的 "指标物种"。企鹅和海豹的种群数十年来一直保持稳定,1998-2018 年期间,它们的种群数量有所增加,超过了历史水平,这表明生态系统结构和功能正在发生变化。我们回顾了对种群趋势、海洋气候十年数据集和洋枪鱼捕捞压力的历史影响。对阿德利企鹅和威德尔海豹的统计建模表明,气候因素的变化和成年齿鱼的累积捕捞量可以解释这些趋势。这些中型食肉动物和成年齿鱼都大量捕食南极银鱼(Pleuragramma antarcticum)。清除齿鱼可能会改变动物群落内的捕食动态,导致银鱼的竞争性释放,并造成企鹅和海豹种群数量的变化。尽管经历了数十年的海洋/天气变化,但罗斯岛周围的指示物种数量只是在开始捕捞牙鱼后才开始增加。南极海洋生物资源保护委员会提倡的关于洋枪鱼管理的合理利用、基于生态系统的观点需要重新评估,包括在罗斯海地区海洋保护区的背景下。

期刊介绍: Antarctic Science provides a truly international forum for the broad spread of studies that increasingly characterise scientific research in the Antarctic. Whilst emphasising interdisciplinary work, the journal publishes papers from environmental management to biodiversity, from volcanoes to icebergs, and from oceanography to the upper atmosphere. No other journal covers such a wide range of Antarctic scientific studies. The journal attracts papers from all countries currently undertaking Antarctic research. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length, two-page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries, and book reviews. These, together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science, provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. There are no page charges, or charges for colour, to authors publishing in the Journal. One issue each year is normally devoted to a specific theme or papers from a major meeting.
