  abstract = {{S}iphonophores are commonly considered to be useful indicators of water masses and water-mass movement, but their employment as such across the wider {S}outhern {O}cean has not so far been attempted. {W}e redress this here using archived samples, collected during {J}anuary-{F}ebruary 1993 along a transect from {C}ape {T}own to the {S}outh {A}frican {N}ational {A}ntarctic {E}xpedition ({SANAE}) base in {A}ntarctica, and compare the patterns generated with those determined from a prior analysis of whole assemblages at lower taxonomic resolution. {T}wenty-one species were identified from 18 of the original 53 samples collected, and two distinct assemblages were confirmed as separated by the {S}ub-{A}ntarctic {F}ront. {T}hat to the south was characterised by low diversity and high abundance and was dominated by cold-water specialists, whereas that to the north comprised a larger number of subtropical and temperate species at low abundance. {A}ssemblage structure was strongly influenced by the mixed layer depth, sea surface salinity and chlorophyllaconcentration, as well as mesozooplankton biomass. {C}ongruence with the whole-assemblage study was high, indicating that this taxon can be suitably employed as a proxy in studies such as this. {T}he study emphasises the value of archived plankton samples and makes a plea for better curation.},
