Marine Fisheries Information Service No.243
The southern Ocean is formed by the merging of the waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans south of the 60ºS latitude and constitutes nearly 4% of the earth’s surface. Although it is the second smallest ocean among the five, and probably the least explored, its marine living resources such...
