- Title: ICOTA cruise (Coastal Ichthyology
in Terre Adélie)
- Summary: Carried out within the framework of the ICOTA and
PELAGANT projects, the overall objective of the cruise is to
improve understanding of the control of Antarctic pelagic biodiversity
and fish recruitment by environmental factors. It will contribute
to determine how the timing of plankton production and spatial
dynamics of planktonic key species relates to the survival
of planktivorous fish stages and to the distribution patterns
of fish communities and populations. ICOTA programme is funded
by the French Polar Institute (IPEV)
and is associated to the Census of Antarctic Marine Life and
the International Polar Year.
