The applications received are as follows:
[Permit Application No. 96-001]
1. Applicant: Carol M. Vleck and Theresa Bucher, Department of
Zoology and Genetics, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
The applicants propose to handle approximately 550 birds (500
adults, 50 chicks) each season during a two-year study on the
reproductive endocrinology of free-living Adelie Penguins near Palmer
Station, Antarctica. Over the course of several different experiments,
birds will be banded and blood samples taken from up to 450 to
determine levels of reproductive hormones at all stages of the
reproductive cycle. In addition blood samples will also be used to
determine levels of stress hormone from birds in a colony with frequent
human visitation and compared with those at a control site.
Observations of birds will be conducted to assess reproductive state
and success rates. If penguins have eggs or chicks in the nest at the
time of handling, the eggs and chicks will be protected from predation
and/or cooling while the parents are being held.
Location
Vicinity of Palmer Station, Anners Island, Antarctica Peninsula.
Dates
October 1, 1995-March 31, 1996.

2. Applicant: Diana W. Freckman, Natural Resource Ecology
Laboratory, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80523
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Import into the U.S. and Enter Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The applicant proposes to enter five (5) Sites of Special
Scientific Interest to collect soil samples to examine the dispersal
and survival of nematodes in the soils, as well as examining how
functional communities develop, and how these communities may be
affected by disturbance. Site access will be by helicopter to the
landing pad designated for each site and the duration of the visit to
the site will be limited to several hours with a group of no more than
4-5 people. Soil sampling protocols have been selected to minimize site
disturbance. Manner of taking: Soil and/or rock samples will be placed
in sterile plastic bags and returned to McMurdo where the nematodes
will be immediately extracted. Remaining soil samples will be shipped
to the U.S. for further biological and chemical analyses, and will be
handled according to USDA guidelines.

3. Applicant: Wayne Z. Trivelpiece, Department of Biology, Montana
State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Taking; Import into the U.S.; and, Enter Site of Special Scientific
Interest.
Approximately 1,000 Adelie and Gentoo chicks will be banded, as
well as 300 adults of Adelie, Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins, as needed
to fulfill research goals in the continuing study of the behavioral
ecology and population biology of these species and the interactions
among these species and their principal avian predators: Skuas, gulls,
sheathbills, and giant fulmars. Up to 50 adults of each penguin species
will be fitted with radio transmitters and time-depth recorders to
continue studying penguin foraging habits. The study also involves
stomach pumping of 40 adult penguins per species. In addition the
principal avian predators of the penguins, mentioned above, will also
be studied, requiring up to 200 adults and chicks of each species to be
banded, if possible. One (1) milliliter sample of blood will be
collected from each of a maximum of 20 breeding adults of each penguin
species for DNA analysis as part of a collaborative genetic study. All
captured birds will be released unharmed. Carcasses and skeletons of
penguins and other birds salvaged at the study site will be imported
into the U.S. for educational and scientific study.
Location
SSSI #8--Western Shore of Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South
Shetland Islands, Antarctica.

4. Applicant: Donald B. Siniff, 100 Ecology Building, University of
Minnesota, 1987 Upper Buford Circle, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Take. Import into the U.S. Enter Site of Special Scientific
Interest.
The applicant proposes the enter the White Island Site of Special
Scientific Interest (SSSI #18) to tag up to 15 adult Weddell seals, and
tag and draw blood samples from approximately 5 Weddell pups, as part
of a continuing population biology study conducted by the Smithsonian
Institution. The White Island seal population has been a focus of
interest dating to the early 1960's.
[[Page 44082]]
This group of seals represents an isolated population that is very
small and the evidence suggests it has very limited exchange of
individuals with the McMurdo Sound population. Thus, the genetics of
this population is of interest because it will increase understanding
of such concepts as inbreeding depression and genetic drift.
Location
SSSI #18--North-west White Island, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica.
Dates
October 1, 1995-September 30, 1996.

5. Applicant: Donald B. Siniff, 100 Ecology Building, University of
Minnesota, 1987 Upper Buford Circle, St. Paul, Minnesota 55108
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Taking. Import into the U.S.
The applicant plans to tag and release approximately 350 Weddell
adult seals and approximately 550 Weddell pups as part of a continuing
investigation of the McMurdo Sound Weddell seal population, which was
begun in the early 1960's and has continued to the present. In
addition, blood samples will be taken from up to 180 individuals, with
up to 100 samples being imported to the U.S. for further analyses on
the genetic characteristics of the Antarctic seal populations.
Objectives of this research are (1) to continue the long-term tagging
studies by tagging all pups born into the McMurdo Sound population and
to replace tags on previously tag individuals so they will not be lost
from the tagged population, and (2) to update estimates of population
parameters annually and to continue the analyses and test of hypotheses
associated with this data base. Mark-recapture surveys, necessary to
obtain all the estimates required for current capture-recapture models,
will also be conducted.
Location
McMurdo Sound vicinity, Antarctica.
Dates
October 1, 1995-September 30, 1996.

Interest.
The applicant proposes to enter Cape Hallett (SPA #7), Cape Royds
(SSSI #1), Arrival Heights (SSSI #2), Barwick Valley (SSSI #3), Cape
Crozier (SSSI #4), Northwest White Island (SSSI #18), and Linneaus
Terrace (SSSI #19) in a continuation of a joint U.S./N.Z. project to
review management plans for protected areas in the Ross Sea region.
Thus far, thirteen (13) of the fifteen (15) sites have been visited.
This season the applicant proposes to visit Cape Hallett, one of the
two remaining sites, to describe and map geographical features,
including important natural and historical features, evidence of human
modifications, structures, markers, impacts, landing and access points
and paths; document natural or human features of special significance;
describe scientific work being conducted in the area, its effects and
influences; assess whether the area is continuing to serve the purpose
for which it was designated, including re-assessment of boundaries and
management objectives; and, use a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) to
map boundaries and define designated photo points covering the most
important features of the site as practical. In addition, the applicant
proposes to return to several previously visited sites to gather and
assist with management problems identified in previous visit reports.
Access to Cape Hallett vicinity may be provided by Twin Otter, while
direct site access will be on foot. Access to other site locations will
be provided by helicopter or vehicle, as appropriate. Access will
comply with existing management plan provisions for each site.
Location
Cape Hallett (SPA #7), Cape Royds (SSSI #17), Arrival Heights (SSSI

7. Applicant: Arthur L. DeVries, Department of Molecular and
Integrated Physiology, 524 Burrill Hall, University of Illinois, 407
South Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, Illinois 61801
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Introduction of Non-indigenous Species into Antarctica.
Fifteen specimens of adult male and female wetas, Hemideina maori
(flightless insects), will be transported from New Zealand to the Crary
Science and Engineering Center at McMurdo Station, Antarctica. The
wetas are a freeze tolerant insect which will be used in experiments to
determine if small amounts of fish antifreeze glycopeptides (AFGP's)
can enhance freezing tolerance. The wetas are the only freeze-tolerant
insects large enough (2 to 3 inches) for implanting a cannula for
removal of hemolymph and injection of AFGP's, which makes the proposed
experiments feasible. The insects will be maintained in a temperature
controlled walk-in freezer. Upon completion of experiments, the wetas
or their remains will be returned to New Zealand or preserved in
formalin.
Location
McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
Dates
October 1, 1995-February 27, 1996.

Integrative Physiology, 524 Burrill Hall, University of Illinois,
407 South Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, Illinois 61801
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Introduction of Non-indigenous Species into Antarctica.
Fifteen (15) specimens of New Zealand black cod, Notothenia
angustata, will be cold acclimated in a closed seawater system in the
aquarium at McMurdo Station. The cold acclimated specimens will be used
in experiments to determine the role of the antifreeze glycopeptides in
freezing avoidance, and for isolating DNA. The DNA will be screened for
the presence of an ``unexpressed'' antifreeze glycopeptide gene. Upon
completion of experiments, the black code will be sacrificed and
preserved in formalin.
Location
McMurdo Station, Ross Island, Antarctica.

Quaternary Studies, 320 Boardman Hall, University of Maine, Orono,
Maine 04469-5711
Activity of Which Permit Is Requested
Enter Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The applicants are carrying out a large mapping project to
determine the former extent of a grounded ice sheet in the Ross Sea
during the last glaciation. Much of the work has been concentrated on
the Dry Valley regions where lobes of the grounded Ross Sea Ice Sheet
flowed inland into the mouths of the valleys. Barwick Valley (SSSI #3)
was last mapped in the 1960's. According to that work, inland ice
advanced down Barwick Valley simultaneously with ice
[[Page 44083]]
advance into Lower Victoria Valley. The Lower Victoria Valley deposits
indicate the presence of a lake, not an ice tongue. Based on
descriptions of Barwick Valley deposits from previous mapping and
observations during last season's reconnaissance, the applicants
believe a lake may have also extended into this area. The applicants
have identified several deltas around Lake Vashka in the Barwick Valley
that are at the same elevation as deltas in the Lower Victoria Valley
which indicate the possible presence of a large lake that would have
filled all of Victoria Valley and extended into the Barwick.
Work in the Barwick Valley will primarily involve mapping by taking
detailed elevation measurements of Lake Vashka deltas, however, small
(10 cm x 10 cm) fossil algae samples will be collected for AMS
radiocarbon dating. Determining the age and precise elevation of deltas
will provide information on the timing of lake-level high-stand in the
Victoria Valley System. Comparisons between the valleys will yield
important information about lake-level variations during the glacial
period and valuable paleoclimate data. Access to Barwick Valley will be
by foot from the Victoria Valley.

11. Applicant: Donal T. Manahan, Department of Biological Sciences,
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089-
0371
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Export from the United States and Introduce Non-indigenous Species
into Antarctica.
The applicant proposes to culture species of unicellular algae for
use in investigations of molecular evolution and UV-photobiology of
antarctic algae and as food for antarctic larval forms (sea urchins)
used in studying the physiology and biochemistry of larval development
of antarctic invertebrates. The applicant will culture the imported
unicellular algae in aseptic conditions. For this purpose, it is
requested to export from the U.S. approximately 10 ml of algae culture
per species originally isolated in Antarctica. These cultures will be
used for investigations of the effects of UV on the biology of algae
(DNA damage, etc.) The algae species now in culture in the U.S., that
were originally isolated in Antarctica, and to be exported from the
U.S. are: Acrochaetium sp., Acrosiphonia sp., Bangia sp., Chaeoceros
flexuosum, Desmarestia antarctica, Halochorococcum sp., Halococcus sp.,
Nitzchia curta, Phaeocystis sp., Phyllophora antarctica, Porosira
glacialis, Porphyra cf. plocamienstris, Rhodochorton purpureum,
Thallassiosira antarctica, Urospora sp.
In addition, the applicant proposes to introduce algal species that
are not of Antarctic origin for use as food for antarctic larval forms
(sea urchins) that will be reared at McMurdo Station during the period
of the course study. The non-indigenous algal species to be introduced
into Antarctica are: Dunaliella teriolecta, Isochrysis galbana,
Skeletonema costatum, Thalassiosira pseudonana, Rhodomonas sp.
After use, all algae and seawater containing algae will be
autoclaved to kill the algal cells.
Location
McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

Associates, 61 Inverness Drive East, Suite 300, Englewood, Colorado
80112
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Taking. The applicant proposes to continue operations at Cape
Hallett in an effort to clean up remnants of past operations. The
location of the proposed work lies within a penguin rookery with a
population of approximately 80,000 Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis
adeliae). The proposed work for 1995-96 involves a reconnaissance
flight to assess site conditions and removing drums containing old
fuel, oil, solvents, and anti-freeze from the area using a U.S. Coast
Guard icebreaker. An assessment will also be conducted to evaluate
plans to dismantle and remove a large fuel tank and building from the
area. The effort would be conducted in following years. The proposed
work is justified by the fact the cleanup operations are an effort to
eliminate a potentially hazardous situation which poses a threat to the
health and well being of the penguin population should the present
containers leak due to corrosion or some other accidental event.
All proposed work has the potential of disturbing the local penguin
population. However, every effort will be taken to schedule activities
at times when the penguins are least susceptible to these disturbances,
for example, during times when the birds are not mating, breeding, or
nesting.

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Enter Site of Special Scientific Interest. The applicant proposes
to collect marine uni-algal samples (single species samples) from a
variety of locations, including sea water accessible through ice cracks
within the White Island Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI #18).
The samples will be used to determine the distribution of antifreeze-
like proteins in Antarctic marine algae. Access to White Island SSSI is
desirable due to the dense algal bloom in late November-early December.
Sampling at this location could possibly provide new species of algae
on which protein assays can be conducted.

Enter Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Ground counts will be made at two major Emperor colonies (Cape
Washington and Coulman Island) and at a third smaller and most southern
Emporer colony (Cape Crozier) bordering the Ross Sea. This is a
continuation of the longest series of censuses of Emperor penguins in
Antarctica. The Coulman Island census is especially important because
the colony declined nearly 50 percent in 1993 and 1994 from that in
1992. Cape Crozier remains small, less than 600 chicks, and its
existence still seems tenuous after its decline to 15 chicks in the
1970's.
The applicant also proposes to capture up to 40 adult Emperor
penguins, near the McMurdo ice edge or at Cape Washington, which will
be maintained in an enclosure on the sea ice for up to 2 months while
behavioral and physiological experiments are conducted. The birds will
be allowed to dive at will through an ice hole. The birds will be
weighed daily, and will be hand-fed a fish supplement, in addition to
their foraging, to ensure weight is maintained or increased while
captive. This experiment is designed to explore and comprehend the
physiological responses that support the great diving capacities of
these birds. A total of 50 Emperor chicks will be captured and released
at Cape Washington over the course of the season. Blood and muscle
samples will be obtained from 30 chicks. In early January, 4 Emperor
fledglings will be captured and released after the attachment of a
satellite transmitter. Furthermore, 15 chicks that have failed to
fledge at Cape Washington will be collected and moved to an enclosure
in the vicinity of McMurdo Station where they will be hand-fed and the
development of their diving abilities studied. After one month, they
will be released at the ice edge. If possible the applicant proposes to
collect 10 frozen eggs and salvage 2 adult Emperor carcasses for
importation into the U.S. The eggs will remain frozen at Scripps until
destructive analysis is completed. The two carcasses will also be held
at Scripps until a full necropsy can be performed, after which the
remains will be destroyed.

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Taking.
The applicant proposes to remove antarctic animals from McMurdo
Station runways, roads, and ice pier as is necessary for operational
safety and well being of the animals and U.S. Antarctic Program
participants. The affected animals include Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis
adeliae), Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri), Weddell seals
(Leptonychotes weddelli), Crabeater seals (London carcinophagus), and
Skuas (catharacta loonbergi and catharacta maccormicki). The movements
of airplanes, ships and support vehicles into and out of McMurdo
Station are essential to USAP for transportation of personnel,
equipment, supplies, and waste materials. Periodically, native seal,
penguin and skua species enter aircraft runways, roads, and the ice
pier. Such invasions pose operational safety concerns, as well as
potential harm to the animals. Removal activities will be conducted in
a nonlethal and humane manner in order to cause as little disturbance
as possible. Herding and reporting procedures have been developed and
training for individuals with responsibility for removal of animals
will be conducted by science laboratory personnel.
Location

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Taking, and Import into the U.S.
The applicant proposes to salvage up to ten (10) Emperor penguin
chick carcasses and up to four (4) abandoned Emperor penguin eggs in
frozen condition for mounting and display in two separate museum
educational exhibits. The applicant will serve as a naturalist lecturer
onboard a cruise ship this coming season. As a result of prior
experience in visiting Emperor penguin rookeries in the eastern Weddell
Sea during the last two summers, large numbers of chicks were observed
to have died from unknown causes (starvation, weather extremes,
diseases, etc.). Two museums (1) Maritime Museum, Port Stanley, the
Falkland Islands, and (2) Natural History Museum, College of the
Atlantic, Bar Harbor, Maine, have expressed interest in obtaining
specimens (5 chick corpses and 2 eggs, each) for educational exhibits.
The applicant will be returning to the eastern Weddell Sea area this
season. Collection of specimens will be done by qualified naturalist
staff onboard the cruise ship (icebreaker) and preserved for transport
under frozen conditions to their destinations. The specimens destined
for the Maritime Museum will be delivered directly to Port Stanley from
Antarctica and will not enter the U.S. Remaining samples will be
delivered to the museum in Maine.
