Modelisation of potential habitats of the main mesopelagic fish according to environmental parameters
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR, established 1982) has, in an effort to conserve Antarctic marine life, established various Southern Ocean marine protected areas (MPAs), with varying levels of protection. These include the South Orkney Islands Souther...
