Krill and Oceanographic Research in the Antarctic

We use advanced technologies to study the distribution and abundance of Antarctic krill in relation to environmental conditions. Our data are used to help manage krill populations in the Southern Ocean.

Finfish and Benthic Research in the Antarctic

We study commercially-fished species in support of fisheries conservation and management in the Southern Ocean.

Pinniped Research in the Antarctic

We study the population health of Antarctic fur seals in relation to the availability of Antarctic krill, their main food source. Our data are used to inform ecosystem-based management in the Southern Ocean.
