Description The southern Ocean is formed by the merging of the waters
of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans south of the 60ºS
latitude and constitutes nearly 4% of the earth’s surface.
Although it is the second smallest ocean among the five, and
probably the least explored, its marine living resources such
as the Antarctic krill, iconic whales, seabirds and seals are
well known as important links in the marine ecosystems. The
mention of oceanographic expeditions has for generations,
instilled a sense of adventurism through exploration of new
horizons, in a scientific quest for knowledge. The Indian
Southern Ocean Research Programme was initiated in 2004
by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Govt. of India to foster
multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional research activities.
Some of the knowledge gained during participation in
such scientific expeditions and with special reference to the
cephalopod resources of the Southern Ocean is shared in this
issue of MFIS. Closer home, the experience and insights on
the various facets of aquaculture through fish seed surveys,
wetland site restoration activities and seaweed farming
have been documented. It is hoped that these notes will
kindle further scientific curiosity on these topics among our
esteemed readers.
