King penguins as indicators of climatic impact on Southern Indian ocean food webs
Entry ID: 394_0_IPEV_FR

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The objective is to study how some diving predators (penguins) may be used to assess the effects of the climatic variability at short and long term, on the pelagic food webs of the Southern Indian Ocean. The study is based on the deployment of data loggers (depth, sea water temperature, Argos transmitters or GPS) on breeding King penguins leaving the colony to forage at-sea. The database concerns ...

Quality During the summer season, fishing was carried out on a regular basis (several days per week) principally from inflatable rubber boats (IRBs) using rods, handlines and/or fish traps. Fishing was also undertaken from the shoreline. Fishing from the shore proved to be most successful when traps were deployed. Casting from the shore, more often than not, resulted in lines becoming snagged on rocks ... View entire text
