The Kerguelen Plateau rises up 2000 m above the surrounding seafloor and hence forms an obstacle for the flow of the Antarctic [...] region in the southern Indian Ocean the complex topography of the Kerguelen Plateau, one of the world’s largest Large Igneous Provinces, has a strong influence on pathways of water masses within the Antarctic [...] information on the Cretaceous and Tertiary development of the AABW and its influence on the path of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. This in turn will allow conclusions on the development of the East Antarctic

The sea bass can tolerate temperatures in the North Sea, but the average temperature of 10 ° C in [...] flow velocities of 5-10 cm s -1 for optimal nutrient and CO 2 exchange on the surface of the thalli, as well as for the reduction of growth of epiphyts. In strong currents, the thalli of macroalgae become [...] materials. Cod is one of the species with the highest rate of the escapees, which can have a negative impact on the wild population by cross-breeding. The extreme temperature tolerance range of -1 ° C to 23 °

In many regions of the Arctic, the melting sea ice will likely result in higher productivity among the ice algae in the short term. Yet

In the Northern Hemisphere, the ocean gradually freezes over in the course of the long Polar [...] near the end of winter. At this point, the Arctic Ocean is completely covered in ice from between the coasts of Canada, Alaska and Siberia to the eastern coast of Greenland. When the sun returns, the ice [...] the formation and melting of sea ice affect the atmosphere and the ocean, and with them, the climate, in a variety of ways. The ice reflects the majority of incoming sunlight back into space. In contrast
