Climate drives long-term change in Antarctic Silverfish along the western Antarctic Peninsula

Corso et al. employ a novel 25-year time series to show how variability in sea ice coverage and ocean temperatures impact larval abundance of an important forage fish, the Antarctic Silverfish. The authors provide insight into how current reductions of this keystone species might impact the vulnerab...

Description
Summary:Corso et al. employ a novel 25-year time series to show how variability in sea ice coverage and ocean temperatures impact larval abundance of an important forage fish, the Antarctic Silverfish. The authors provide insight into how current reductions of this keystone species might impact the vulnerable pelagic ecosystem along the western Antarctic Peninsula.
