Mean values of sea surface temperature (SST, °C) and Chlorophyll-a concentration ([Chla], mg.m-3) in the area centered on Crozet Islands (43-47°S, 46-56°E), of SST in the South sector of Crozet Archipelago (48-60°S, 46-56°E) and of SOI were calculated according to different periods. Minimum SST, maximum SST, maximum [Chla] and their associated time were also determined for the sector of Crozets. Time lags were tested from 0 (year t) to 2 (year t - 2). Ã, not tested.
