• The nature of the diversity of Antarctic fishes (2004, background): “They shoal in loose aggregations with individuals spaced 2–4 m apart (Fuiman et al. 2002).”
• Early life stages in the life cycle of Antarctic silverfish, Pleuragramma antarcticum in Terra Nova Bay, Ross Sea (2004, background): “…part of the diet of most large Antarctic vertebrates such as whales (Andriashev 1965), elephant seals (Daneri & Carlini 2002), fur seals (Casaux et al. 2003) and Weddell seals (Burns et al. 1998, Fuiman et al. 2002); in winter, it is even consumed by crabeater and leopard seals (Lowry et al. 1988).”
• The Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni): biology, ecology, and life history in the Ross Sea region (2015, methodology): “Although D. mawsoni is caught by vessels using bottom longlines in the commercial fishery, it can occur throughout much of the water column (Yukhov, 1971; Fuiman et al., 2002).”
• Identifying foraging events in deep diving southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, using acceleration data loggers (2013, background): “Animal-borne video recorders and acoustic tags have provided new insights into the functionality of dive types and the detail of fine-scale foraging behaviour (Arranz et al., 2011; Davis et al., 2003; Fuiman et al., 2002; Hooker et al., 2002; Johnson et al., 2004; Madsen et al., 2005; Marshall et al”
• The role of notothenioid fish in the food web of the Ross Sea shelf waters: a review (2004, methodology): “A video camera attached to Weddell seals as they forage under the ice of McMurdo Sound also provides some insight into previously unknown aspects of the behaviour and ecology of Pleuragramma antarcticum (Fuiman et al. 2002).”
• Antarctic silverfish: life strategies of a key species in the high-Antarctic ecosystem (2012, background): “In the presence of seasonal light, they exhibit diel vertical migration of as much as 350 m, moving to shallower depths at night and deeper during the day (Plötz et al. 2001; Fuiman et al. 2002; Robison 2003; Lancraft et al. 2004).”
• A method for reconstructing three-dimensional dive profiles of marine mammals using geomagnetic intensity data: results from two lactating Weddell seals (2003, background): “In McMurdo Sound, the principal prey of Weddell seals is the pelagic silverfish, Pleuragramma antarcticum (Green and Burton 1987; Burns et al. 1998), which is believed to be caught at depths between 150 m and 500 m (Burns et al. 1998; Fuiman et al. 2002).”
• Regional, temporal and fine-scale spatial variation in Weddell seal diet at four coastal locations in east Antarctica (2003, background): “Pleuragramma antarcticum is a keystone species in Antarctic continental shelf ecosystems (Cherel & Kooyman 1998, Fuiman et al. 2002).”
• Modelling present and climate-shifted distribution of marine fishes and invertebrates. (2008, background): “Thus, polar fishes such as Arctic cod and Antarctic toothfish are physiologically adapted to polar environments (Farrell & Steffensen 2005) and generally range close to sea ice (Legendre et al. 1992; Fuiman et al. 2002).”
• Coexistence of mesopredators in an intact polar ocean ecosystem: The basis for defining a Ross Sea marine protected area (2012, background): “…seals and emperor penguin (and adult, therefore neutrally buoyant, Antarctic toothfish, a 10th mesopredator not included further in our analyses; Fuiman et al., 2002), all are capable of using the entire water column from the shelf bottom to the surface (deep divers) and, thus, experience among…”
