This plankton-feeder of the intermediate trophic  level is the most abundant fish in the coastal regions of high Antarctica, and  plays a pivotal ecological role as the main prey of top predators like seals,  penguins, whales and Antarctic toothfish. Broad circum-polar distribution, a key  role in the Antarctic shelf pelagic ecosystem, and adaptations makes  understanding the species’ likely response to environmental change relevant to  foresee the potential responses at the local ecosystem level. Additionally, a  detailed understanding of the abundance and trophic interactions of such a  dominant keystone species is a vital element of informing the development of  marine spatial planning and marine protected areas in the Antarctic continental  shelf region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperts  in the field provide here unique insights intothe evolutionary  adaptation, eco-physiology, trophic ecology, reproductive and population ecology  of the Antarctic silverfish and  provide new clues about its vulnerability in facing the challenges of the  ongoing environmental changes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-08-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319857749\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-55893-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 314\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45588259078284,"sku":"9783319857749","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319857749.jpg?v=1776698898","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783319857749","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
