Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are swarming, oceanic crustaceans, up to two inches
long, and best known as prey for whales and penguins–but they have another important …

The present paper is a review of the available literature on the significance of forage fish, the
plethora of services they provide, and the threats faced by them. Forage fish are pelagic …

Antarctic krill play an important role in biogeochemical cycles and can potentially generate
high-particulate organic carbon (POC) fluxes to the deep ocean. They also have an unusual …

Thysanoessa inermis and 7. longicaudata were the dominant krill species observed in the
western and central Barents Sea between 1984 and 1992. Both species are typically boreal …

Growth, molting, and development of larval Antarctic krill were investigated near Marguerite
Bay during four cruises in austral autumn and winter 2001 and 2002, as part of the US …

We investigated physiological parameters (elemental and biochemical composition,
metabolic rates, feeding activity and growth) of adult Antarctic krill in the Lazarev Sea in late …

The growth rates of postlarval krill (Euphausia superba) were measured across a wide
range of environments in the Scotia Sea and around South Georgia using the Instantaneous …

Euphausia superba Dana was collected at stations encompassing 3° of latitude in
icecovered waters west of the Antarctic Peninsula in winter of 1992 (July-August), and in the …

Background The Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is a keystone species in the Antarctic
food chain. Not only is it a significant grazer of phytoplankton, but it is also a major food item …

Krill from the Barents Sea were studied on six cruises from 1985 to 1989. Thysanoessa
inermis and T. longicaudata were the dominant species, while T. raschii and …
