Nekton community of the Scotia Sea as sampled by the RMT 25 during austral summer [PDF]
The nekton community was sampled by a Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT 25) over the upper 1000 m of the Scotia Sea dunng January 1991. A total of 81 nekton and micronekton species were collected from 2 sites, one in the oceanlc western Scotia Sea (Stn 1)

Abstract Understanding patterns of habitat use across trophic levels and the physical drivers of multispecies aggregations is essential to inform ecosystem‐based management. To achieve this, we quantified the spatial distribution and co‐occurrence of hotspots (defined using the Getis‐Ord statistic) for euphausiids and nine of their commercially ...

Spatial-temporal patterns of euphausiids ecology in the Okhotsk Sea
The most common regularities in spatial distribution of mass Euphausia species and their size classes and ontogenetic stages are determined for the Okhotsk Sea using the data averaging by biostatistical areas and applying the average results to the ...

Cloning and Characterization of Chitin Deacetylase from Euphausia superba. [PDF]
Chitin deacetylase (CDA) can catalyze the deacetylation of chitin to produce chitosan. In this study, we identified and characterized a chitin deacetylase gene from Euphausia superba (EsCDA-9k), and a soluble recombinant protein chitin deacetylase from Euphausia superba of molecular weight 45 kDa was cloned, expressed, and purified.

Do small swimmers mix the ocean?
In this communication we address some hydrodynamic aspects of recently revisited drift mechanism of biogenic mixing in the ocean (Katija and Dabiri, Nature vol. 460, pp. 624-626, 2009).

The Euphausia superba transcriptome database, SuperbaSE: An online, open resource for researchers [PDF]
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a crucial component of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, acting as the major link between primary production and higher trophic levels with an annual predator demand of up to 470 million tonnes.

Dissolved and Particulate Methylated Mercury in a Highly Productive Area of the Southern Ocean
Abstract Methylated mercury (MeHg), including dimethylmercury and monomethylmercury (MMHg), is a pollutant of concern because it biomagnifies in marine biota. The formation of MeHg in the oceans, specifically at highly productive regions and at high oxygen levels, remains elusive.

ABSTRACT North Pacific humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) have recovered rapidly following their depletion by commercial whaling. Diet studies are necessary to assess food web implications of their recovery. This study investigates the diet composition of humpback whales foraging in the northern Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada, an ...
