Using a risk assessment framework to spatially and temporally spread the fishery catch limit for Antarctic krill in the west Antarctic Peninsula: A template for krill fisheries elsewhere [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The west Antarctic Peninsula is an important breeding and foraging location for marine predators that consume Antarctic Krill (Euphasia superba). It is also an important focus for the commercial fishery for Antarctic krill, managed by the Commission for ...

Antarctic krill sequester similar amounts of carbon to key coastal blue carbon habitats [PDF]

Nature Communications
The carbon sequestration potential of open-ocean pelagic ecosystems is vastly under-reported compared to coastal vegetation ‘blue carbon’ systems. Here we show that just a single pelagic harvested species, Antarctic krill, sequesters a similar amount of ...

Dietary antarctic krill improves antioxidant capacity, immunity and reduces lipid accumulation, insights from physiological and transcriptomic analysis of Plectropomus leopardus [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Due to its enormous biomass, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) plays a crucial role in the Antarctic Ocean ecosystem. In recent years, Antarctic krill has found extensive application in aquaculture, emerging as a sustainable source of ...

Variations of the metabolome in the digestive system of Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, between summer and autumn. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Rapid climate change threatens the relatively pristine environment of the Southern Ocean. The effects on biogeochemical cycles and their subsequent consequences for the organisms in this area are of significant interest.

Whale recovery and the emerging human-wildlife conflict over Antarctic krill [PDF]

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

Insight into the Gel Properties of Antarctic Krill and Pacific White Shrimp Surimi Gels and the Feasibility of Polysaccharides as Texture Enhancers of Antarctic Krill Surimi Gels

Foods, 2022
Antarctic krill is a potential and attractive resource for consumption. However, most Antarctic krill meat is used to produce primary products with low commercial value, with few highly processed products.

The Effects of Combined Ocean Acidification and Nanoplastic Exposures on the Embryonic Development of Antarctic Krill [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In aquatic environments, plastic pollution occurs concomitantly with anthropogenic climate stressors such as ocean acidification. Within the Southern Ocean, Antarctic krill (Euphausia Superba) support many marine predators and play a key role in the ...

Quantifying Antarctic krill connectivity across the West Antarctic Peninsula and its role in large-scale Pygoscelis penguin population dynamics

Scientific Reports, 2023
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are considered a keystone species for higher trophic level predators along the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) during the austral summer.

Organic or junk food? Microplastic contamination in Antarctic krill and salps. [PDF]

R Soc Open Sci, 2023
Microplastics (MP) have been reported in Southern Ocean (SO), where they are likely to encounter Antarctic zooplankton and enter pelagic food webs. Here we assess the presence of MP within Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and salps (Salpa thompsoni ...

Winter condition, physiology, and growth potential of juvenile Antarctic krill

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
In recent years, substantial efforts have been made to understand the implications of climate change on Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, because of their pivotal role in the Southern Ocean food web and in biogeochemical cycling.
