The Southern Ocean upwelling is a mecca for whales and tuna that’s worth celebrating and protecting

Retrieved on: 
Friday, March 8, 2024

The Great Southern Australian Coastal Upwelling System is an upward current of water over vast distances along Australia’s southern coast.

Key Points: 
  • The Great Southern Australian Coastal Upwelling System is an upward current of water over vast distances along Australia’s southern coast.
  • This nutrient-rich water supports a rich ecosystem that attracts iconic species like the southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) and blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda).
  • This year marks the 20th anniversary of a research publication that revealed the existence of the large seasonal upwelling system along Australia’s southern coastal shelves.

Where do the nutrients come from?

  • Only the upper 50 metres of the water column receives enough light to support the microscopic phytoplankton – single-celled organisms that depend on photosynthesis.
  • This is the process of using light energy to make a simple sugar, which phytoplankton and plants use as their food.
  • As well as light, the process requires a suite of nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorus.

What causes the upwelling?

  • These winds force near-surface water offshore, which draws up deeper, nutrient-enriched water to replace it in the sunlight zone.
  • The summer winds also produce a swift coastal current, called an upwelling jet.
  • Coastal upwelling driven by southerly winds also forms occasionally along Tasmania’s west coast.
  • Recent research suggests the overall upwelling intensity has not dramatically changed in the past 20 years.
  • The findings indicate global climate changes of the past 20 years had little or no impact on the ecosystem functioning.

What are the links between upwelling, tuna and whales?

  • They are the Australian sardine (Sardinops sagax) and the Australian krill (Nyctiphanes australis), a small, shrimp-like creature that’s common in the seas around Tasmania.
  • Sardines are the key diet of larger fish, including the southern bluefin tuna, and various marine mammals including the Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea).
  • Nonetheless, their timing and location appear to fit perfectly into the annual migration patterns of southern bluefin tuna and blue whales, creating a natural wonder in the southern hemisphere.
