The importance of Antarctic krill in biogeochemical cycles [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 AbstractAntarctic 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 role. With their large size, high biomass and daily vertical migrations they transport and transform essential nutrients, stimulate primary productivity and influence the ...

The hydrodynamics of hovering in Antarctic krill [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography: Fluids and Environments, 2013 Lay AbstractAntarctic krill, one of the most important species of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, are denser than water and must swim continuously to avoid sinking. They swim by beating their five pairs of swimming legs in a sequential pattern from back to front.

At-Sea Distribution and Prey Selection of Antarctic Petrels and Commercial Krill Fisheries.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Commercial fisheries may impact marine ecosystems and affect populations of predators like seabirds. In the Southern Ocean, there is an extensive fishery for Antarctic krill Euphausia superba that is projected to increase further.

Glacial melting: an overlooked threat to Antarctic krill [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractStrandings of marine animals are relatively common in marine systems. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We observed mass strandings of krill in Antarctica that appeared to be linked to the presence of glacial meltwater. Climate-induced glacial meltwater leads to an increased occurrence of suspended particles in the sea ...

Preparation of Antarctic Krill Oil Emulsion and Its Stability under Catalase Treatment
Foods, 2021 Making Antarctic krill oil into emulsion is a good way to utilize Antarctic krill, but proliferation of microorganisms cannot be ignored. H2O2 is widely used in the sterilization of liquid food since its decomposition products are environmentally ...

Adult Antarctic Krill Feeding at Abyssal Depths [PDF]
Current Biology, 2008 Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a large euphausiid, widely distributed within the Southern Ocean [1], and a key species in the Antarctic food web [2]. The Discovery Investigations in the early 20(th) century, coupled with subsequent work with both nets and echosounders, indicated that the bulk of the population of postlarval krill is typically ...
