Bioenergetics of Euphausia superba and Euphausia crystallorophias in the Ross Sea
Diversity, 2023 Krill species are key organisms in the Antarctic food web. Biochemical composition in terms of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and fatty acids and its implications for spatial distribution were investigated in specimens of Euphausia superba and ...

Effects of some antiseptics on rate of Antarctic krill autoproteolysis [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1981 Intensity of autoproteolysis in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the presence of some antiseptics was studied. The rate of autoproteolysis was assessed from release of amino and non-protein nitrogen in 100 g raw protein.
