The geographic distributions of many Antarctic cephalopod species are not well understood. Many may be influenced by physical factors such as watermasses, iceextent or bathymetry. For example, there is an apparent association of mesoscale oceanographic features with some species (Rodhouse et al. 1996). Such associations suggest certain physical factors in the environment that may be predictors of foraging locations for cephalopods and/or their predators. Improving our understanding of such…

Biogeography of Cephalopods in the Southern Ocean Using Habitat Suitability Prediction Models
TLDR
Net-catch data was used to develop habitat suitability models for 15 of the most common cephalopods in the Southern Ocean and a “hotspot” index of species richness showed higher numbers of squid species associated with various fronts of the Antarctic circumpolar current.
Global Patterns of Species Richness in Coastal Cephalopods
Within the context of global climate change and overfishing of fish stocks, there is some evidence that cephalopod populations are benefiting from this changing setting. These invertebrates show…
Using seabirds to map the distribution of elusive pelagic cephalopod species
TLDR
W Wandering albatrosses captured circumpolar and rarer oceanic squid in all water masses of the Southern Ocean (i.e. Antarctic, sub-Antarctic and subtropical waters), complementing much of the knowledge about the cephalopod distribution in the Atlantic sector of theSouthern Ocean.
Habitat and trophic ecology of Southern Ocean cephalopods from stable isotope analyses
TLDR
Differences among islands in isotope ratios in the same cephalopod species (higher δ15N and lower δ13C values in South Georgia) were attributed to regional oceanographic processes.
Southern Ocean cephalopods.
Cephalopod fauna of South Pacific waters: new information from breeding New Zealand wandering albatrosses
TLDR
Evidence from predators of the circumpolar distribution of numerous key cephalopod species in the Southern Ocean is provided, and new information on poorly known cEPhalopods is provided in one of the most remote ocean areas in the planet.
Top predators and stable isotopes document the cephalopod fauna and its trophic relationships in Kerguelen waters
TLDR
The stable isotopic signature of beaks revealed new trophic relationships and migration patterns and is a powerful tool to investigate the role of the poorly known cephalopods in the marine environment.
A GIS environmental modelling approach to essential fish habitat designation
A review of Southern Ocean squids using nets and beaks
This review presents an innovative approach to investigate the teuthofauna from the Southern Ocean by combining two complementary data sets, the literature on cephalopod taxonomy and biogeography,…
Foraging ecology and interactions with fisheries of wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) breeding at South Georgia
Knowledge about the areas used by the foraging wandering albatross, Diomedea exulans, its prey and overlap with longline fisheries is important information not only for the conservation of this…

Cephalopod Fauna of the Scotia Sea at South Georgia: Potential for Commercial Exploitation and Possible Consequences
TLDR
Comparison of data indicates that predators catch larger specimens and a greater diversity of species than nets, and it is likely that Antarctic stocks will be sensitive to exploitation and liable to dramatic fluctuations if overfished.
Fine-scale distribution of juvenile cephalopods in the Scotia Sea and adaptive allometry of the brachial crown
TLDR
Positive allometric growth in the brachial crown of these antarctic oceanic squid is suggested to have evolved as an adaptation to the peaked, or domed, structure of the pelagic biomass spectrum which must be spanned by these predators as their optimum prey size increases with growth.
Fishery biology of the seven star flying squid Martialia hyadesi at South Georgia during winter
TLDR
The results suggest that concentrations of Martialia hyadesi are present in the vicinity of South Georgia, south of the Antarctic Polar Front, during the austral winter.
Squid as Predators on Krill (Euphausia superba) and Prey for Sperm Whales in the Southern Ocean
TLDR
It is suggested that the food chain from krill to sperm whale has several links, including fish and squid, and the importance of studies on deep-sea systems in the Southern Ocean is emphasized.
Analysis of haul data from the South Georgia krill fishery
Data from individual hauls carried out by vessels operating in the South Georgia krill fishery between 1994 and 1996 were examined and a range of descriptive measurements reflecting the fishery…
