项目摘要

The antarctic marine environment is characterized by constant, low water temperatures yet marked seasonal patterns of pack-ice movement and photoperiod. The offshore biotic system is fueled by upwelled, nutrient-rich, deep circumpolar water, which supports rich primary production during the Antarctic austral summer. Although antarctic marine biology is a relative young science, research has gone far beyond descriptions of plants and animals found in antarctic waters. More fundamental aspects of how these biota live and interact in such an extreme environment have been studied. This unique marine environment provides an opportunity to present a broadly based symposium on aspects of the biology of the rich and diverse marine life in Antarctica. This project will support a symposium on "Antarctic Marine Biology" to be held at the January, 2000 meeting of the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology. General topics to be addressed include marine microbial processes, physiology of sea ice microalgae, the energetics and reproduction of krill, seals and penguins, strategies of photothermal acclimation in macroalge, the physiology and development of marine invertebrates and the origin and evolution of fish antifreezes. The integrative and comparative nature of the presentations will have broad scientific appeal. The proceedings will be available to the general scientific community through publication in the American Zoologist.

南极海洋环境的特征是恒定的水温低，但标志着包装冰运动和光周期的季节性模式。离岸生物系统是由上流良好的，富含营养的深圆形水为促进的，该水在南极澳大利亚夏季支持丰富的初级生产。尽管南极海洋生物学是一门相对的年轻科学，但研究远远超出了南极水域中发现的动植物的描述。这些生物群在如此极端的环境中生活和互动的更为根本的方面已被研究。这种独特的海洋环境提供了一个机会，可以就南极洲富裕和多样化的海洋生物的生物学方面展示广泛的研讨会。该项目将支持在2000年1月综合和比较生物学协会会议上举行的“南极海洋生物学”研讨会。要解决的一般主题包括海洋微生物过程，海冰微藻的生理学，磷虾的能量和繁殖，海豹和企鹅的生理学，宏观过滤中光热适应的策略，生理和海洋无脊椎动物的生理和发育以及鱼类反植物的起源和进化。演讲的综合性质和比较性质将具有广泛的科学吸引力。诉讼将通过美国动物学家的出版物提供给普通科学界。
