The Scotia Sea ecosystem is a major component of the circumpolar Southern Ocean system,
where productivity and predator demand for prey are high. The eastward-flowing Antarctic …

Abstract The Southern Ocean ecosystem has undergone extensive changes in the past two
centuries driven by industrial sealing and whaling, climate change and commercial fishing …

Despite much research on Euphausia superba, estimates of their total biomass and
production are still very uncertain. Recently, circumpolar krill databases, combined with …

Surveys of Euphausia superba often target localised shelves and ice edges where their
growth rates and predation losses are atypically high. Emphasis on these areas has led to …

Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, has been studied since the early 1920s including
distribution, life cycle and behavioural biology. Quantitative aspects of distribution, biomass …

A dominant Antarctic ecological paradigm suggests that winter sea ice is generally the main
feeding ground for krill larvae. Observations from our winter cruise to the southwest Atlantic …

In January and February 2000, a collaborative survey designed to assess the biomass of
Antarctic krill across the Scotia Sea was conducted aboard research vessels from Japan …

There are increasing concerns over potential long-term changes in krill distribution and
abundance, determining whether such changes are related to climate change and/or …

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and salps are major macroplankton contributors to
Southern Ocean food webs and krill are also fished commercially. Managing this fishery …

We used the instantaneous growth rate method to determine the effects of food, temperature,
krill length, sex, and maturity stage on in situ summer growth of krill across the southwest …
