Jan 6, 2022 · The authors found that the total krill model, in general, showed a high abundance of krill from the nearshore to over the continental slope. These maps summarize the annual “total krill” full model outputs to the temporal mean, maximum, and minimum total krill abundance across 2002-2018.

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a species of krill found in the Antarctic waters of the Southern Ocean. It is a small, swimming crustacean that lives in large schools, called swarms, sometimes reaching densities of 10,000–30,000 animals per cubic metre. [3]

The KRILLBASE density data indicates the relative probability of occurrence for both Antarctic krill and salps at the circumpolar scale and at finer scales in well-sampled areas such as the west Atlantic sector and around Prydz Bay. The maps on this …

Basic facts about Antarctic krill: lifespan, distribution and habitat map, lifestyle and social behavior, mating habits, diet and nutrition, population size and status.

Jan 1, 1998 · The project aims to compile a range of data on krill and salps in the Southern Ocean. The main data product is the database of densities (number under 1m 2 of sea surface) spanning 1926 to 2016. These data were collected using a variety of net sampling methods.

The focus of this project is to look into changes in krill distribution and levels of tourism in the Antarctic Peninsula over time.

Krill belong to the large arthropod subphylum, the Crustacea. The most familiar and largest group of crustaceans, the class Malacostraca, includes the superorder Eucarida comprising the three orders, Euphausiacea (krill), Decapoda (shrimp, prawns, lobsters, crabs), and the planktonic Amphionidacea. The order Euphausiacea comprises two families.

KRILLBASE is a data rescue and compilation project to improve the availability of information on two key Southern Ocean zooplankton: Antarctic krill and salps. We provide a circumpolar database that combines 15 194 scientific net hauls (1926 to 2016) from 10 countries.

The management strategy for the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) fishery is being revised. A key aim is to spatially and temporally allocate catches in a manner that minimizes impacts to both...

Dec 27, 2008 · Krill are small crustaceans that look like shrimp. They’re found in oceans around the world, from the tropics to the frigid waters of higher latitudes. They’re especially abundant in the Antarctic, where they’re the main food source for many fish, birds, and mammals.
