Description
Summary:Eight years of research in the Magellan regionand Antarctic marine ecosystems have passed sincethe first IBMANT Symposium held in Punta Arenasin 1997 (Arntz and Ríos, 1999). Considerable bio-geographic and biodiversity work, supported byphysiological and molecular genetic approaches, hasbeen published during this time, especially in theAntarctic, much of it in the framework of SCAR’sEASIZ and EVOLANTA programmes (Di Prisco etal., 1998; Davison et al., 2000; Arntz and Clarke,2002; Huiskes et al., 2003; Clarke et al., subm.), andrecently by research extending into the deep sea(Brandt and Hilbig, 2004). Marine science in theMagellan region, which had received importantstimuli from the “Victor Hensen” and “Vidal Gor-maz” campaigns in the previous period (Arntz andGorny, 1996; CONA, 1999 a, b), was advancedrather by individual approaches such as the decapodand fish work carried out by the CADIC and col-leagues from Ushuaia (e.g. Lovrich et al., 2003; Fer-nández et al., 2000)but also received further inputfrom CIMAR Fiordo cruises nos. 3, 4, and 7between 1997 and 2001, and the “LAMPOS” cruiseof RV “Polarstern” along the Scotia Arc (CONA,1999 a, b; Arntz and Brey, 2003).
