Abstract

This paper reviewed research issues on the Southern Ocean (SO) ecosystem and proposed a vision for them. While the most important species to be addressed for understanding the ecosystem is Antarctic krill Euphausia superba, research articles on the myctophid (lanternfish) ecology in the SO have been frequently published in the last decade. Japanese research team determines Antarctic myctophid fish Electrona antarctica as a target species. However, only fragments of information have been available on the reproductive biology and early life history in the species. In the marginal ice zone, there is an energy pathway originating from ice algae as well as from phytoplankton bloom found near the ice edge in the ice melting season. Change in sea ice dynamics with climate changes is most likely to affect the ecosystem in the water column under sea ice.
