The Southern Ocean plays a major role in global carbon cycling through its nutrient-driven productivity.
Wind-driven circulation and deep-water upwelling bring nutrient-rich waters to the surface, stimulating plankton blooms that form the base of the Southern Ocean food chain.

These blooms support krill populations, which in turn sustain fish species preyed upon by Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, linking surface productivity to deep-sea predators.
Disruptions to upwelling patterns could cascade through the ecosystem, potentially altering prey availability for Antarctic giants.
