Abrupt Mid-Twentieth Century Decline in Antarctic Sea-Ice Extent from Whaling Records. Format is a WinZip'ed Microsoft Access 2000 database. The northernmost edge of the sea ice was derived from the southernmost positions of whale catches. A supplemental word document is also included with the dataset. This dataset was originally compiled by Bill de la Mare. The fields in this dataset are: record ID latitude mean latitude longitude longitude Interval date season decade id catch Record species ID

This data set describes details of test measurements and numbers of brooded juveniles for Abatus nimrodi and Abatus ingens heart urchins collected from uncontaminated sites in O'Brien Bay and along a contamination gradient in Brown Bay. This work falls under the umbrella project ASAC_2201. The fields in this dataset are: Species Location Date ID Length Width Mouth Length Pouch Length Young Notes

This global meta-analysis documents data from underwater visual surveys used to determine the effect of kelp bed disturbance and canopy density on the abundance and structure of fish communities. Spatial, temporal and ontogenetic variability of many key fish species was examined at various levels of kelp disturbance at sites spanning a global temperate distribution. Rocky reef habitats and fisheries management regimes of sites were also examined as covariates.
