Analysis of the circadian transcriptome of the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a high latitude pelagic organism which plays a central role in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. E. superba shows daily and seasonal rhythms in physiology and behaviour, which are synchronized with the environmental ...

Marine mammal recovery is associated with the resurgence of a nematode parasite
Abstract As the oceans change, the abundance of parasites and the risk of infection to marine mammals may also be changing. Nematodes in the family Anisakidae can harm marine mammals, and recent studies have revealed a global increase in these parasites, but the cause is unknown.

Compound Marine Heatwaves and Acidity Extremes in the Southern Ocean
Abstract Compound extremes of temperature and acidity that extend over substantial fractions of the water column can be particularly damaging to marine organisms, as they experience not only additional stress by the potentially synergistic effects of these two stressors, but also a reduction in habitable vertical space. Here, we detect and analyze such

Laboratory culture and development of Euphausia pacifica [PDF]
Euphausia pacifica was reared from eggs released by gravid females taken from the field to 1‐year‐old adults. The duration of each larval stage, the number of instars in each stage, and the molting sequence in the laboratory were determined. For all broods the median developmental time to juvenile 1 was 45 days at 12°C, 68 days at 8°C.

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell
Our understanding of the functional importance of olfaction to birds has improved over the past 60 years, largely as the result of experimental studies testing how birds use their sense of smell in different contexts. As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Abstract The present study investigated the effects of replacing low‐temperature fishmeal (LT FM) with graded levels of partly deshelled Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) meal and pea protein concentrate (PDKM + PPC), PDKM alone, or whole krill meal with shells (WKM) as primary protein sources on feed pellet physical quality and sinking velocity (Sv)

ABSTRACT Humpback whale ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) super‐groups, comprising 20+, tightly aggregated, feeding individuals, form during the austral summer in the southern Benguela ecosystem off the west coast of South Africa. This phenomenon, observed since 2011, is thought to be linked to increased productivity from positive chlorophyll‐a anomalies ...
