Vertical distribution of brown and red macroalgae along the central Western Antarctic Peninsula

Charles D. Amsler,
Margaret O. Amsler,

et al.

Abstract: Fleshy macroalgae dominate the hard bottom, shallow waters along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP). Although there are numerous reports on their ecology, geographic distribution, and to a lesser extent, vertical (depth) distribution in the northern portions of the WAP, much less is known farther south along the central portion of the WAP. Here we provide the first report of the vertical distributions of brown and red fleshy macroalgae in this region based on scuba-derived collections at 14 study sites betw… Show more

“…Sea ice also controls the amount of visible radiation reaching the water; a shorter duration of sea ice can cause ecosystem shifts in polar benthic communities from invertebrate to algal dominated (Clark et al., 2013; Gómez et al., 2019). Sea ice cover was also shown to strongly reduce biomass and total species richness of macroalgae along a north south transect along the Western Antarctic Peninsula (Amsler et al., 2024).…”
