Title

Marine ecosystem monitoring in the sea-ice region of Lützow-Holm Bay, off Syowa Station, during the icebreaker Shirase cruise of the 58th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition

Abstract

As part of the monitoring program of the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), marine ecological monitoring in the sea-ice region of Lützow-Holm Bay, off Syowa Station, has been routinely carried out since JARE-52 (2010/11 season) to investigate biological production and mechanisms in relation to sea-ice. Water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a concentration, macro-nutrients (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate), and zooplankton data were collected at six stations in various sea-ice environments: fast-ice, pack-ice, and ice-free open ocean. The use of an “ice-fence” protected observation equipment (e.g., plankton nets and CTDs) from damage due to sea-ice. This report provides the data obtained during the icebreaker Shirase cruise of the 58th Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in the 2016/17 season.
