Size Selection of Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba) in Trawls

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Trawlers involved in the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) fishery use different trawl designs, and very little is known about the size selectivity of the various gears. Size selectivity quantifies a given trawl's ability to catch different sizes of a harvested entity, and this information is crucial for the management of a sustainable fishery.

Distribution of the Antarctic Sea-birds in the Outer Margin of the Summer Pack Ice Area

open access: yesAntarctic Record, 1979
The distribution of the Antarctic sea-birds was investigated in 1976-1977 and 1977-1978 summer seasons. The observations were performed along the outer margin of the pack ice area between longitude 50° E and 165° E.

Identifying Risk: Concurrent Overlap of the Antarctic Krill Fishery with Krill-Dependent Predators in the Scotia Sea.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Mitigating direct and indirect interactions between marine predators and fisheries is a motivating factor for ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM), especially where predators and fisheries compete for a shared resource. One difficulty in advancing

Characterisation of the Pump-Suction Flow Field of Antarctic Krill and Key Influencing Factors

open access: yesApplied Sciences
To address the problem of high damage rates and low efficiency during Antarctic krill pumping, this study used Discrete Phase Modelling (DPM) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyse how krill–water mixing ratios and centrifugal pump speeds affect ...

Lateral target strength of Antarctic krill [PDF]

open access: yesICES Journal of Marine Science, 1996
An area of high krill (Euphausia superba Dana) density was continuously monitored with down-looking and side-looking sonars over a period of 24 h. Measurements of volume backscattering strength were used to describe the density of krill with depth and the vertical movement of krill over time.

Measuring and Characterizing the Ecological Footprint and Life Cycle Environmental Costs of Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba) Products

open access: yes, 2011
The fishery for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has received considerable attention in recent years, owing largely to the possibility of its significant expansion and the ecological implications of increased extraction of a keystone species.

Hot air processing of the antarctic krill.

open access: yesNippon Eiyo Shokuryo Gakkaishi, 1986
南極オキアミ (オキアミ) の食用向け姿身製品を生産するための海水煮熟処理は, 鮮度低下, 自己消化, 黒変等を防止する手軽な方法として用いられているが, 有用成分の溶失, 食塩の浸透, 処理エネルギーが多い等の不利点もある。そこで, それらの不利点を解決し, オキアミをより有効に利用するために熱風煮熟処理を考案した。以下は, 船上処理への基礎データを得るために行なった試験機での試験結果を海水煮熟処理と比較した結果である。1) 熱風煮熟処理試験機は, ヒーター部 (1.5kW/hr), 送風部 (2m3/min), 処理部 (~400g/回) 等からなるものである。試験時の熱風温度は180℃とし, 1~7分間処理を行なった。また, すべての系は密封して熱風を循環させ ...

Microplastics in Antarctic krill from the Antarctic Peninsula: distribution, composition, and exposure

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin
Despite growing concerns about microplastic (MP) contamination in Antarctic environments, polymer-resolved evaluations of MP exposure in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) remain limited, particularly with respect to spatial and size-specific variability.
