JR06 - Marine Biology - South Georgia and South Orkneys (Predator/Prey Cruise)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

This cruise was subtitled "Predator/Prey Cruise"; its primary objective to provide cross programme links between the Pelagic Ecosystem Studies (PES) and the Higher Predator programme.

Description

This was facilitated by the introduction of remote sensing techniques that could give real-time information on sea-surface temperature and the location of satellite tagged predators. This primary objective was approached by investigating the following areas: (1) The multiple aims of PES long term monitoring programme (specifically resources) (2) Shipborne observations of sea-birds (3) The use of remote sensing data The main uses of ship time were a krill study (Leg 1) and a squid study (Leg 2).

Other work (bird studies, physical and chemical measurements etc) ran concurrently. The cruise demonstrated a link between krill populations and the breeding success of krill dependant predators.
