Natural growth rates in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba): II. Predictive models based on food, temperature, body length, sex, and maturity stage [PDF]
We used the instantaneous growth rate method to determine the effects of food, temperature, krill length, sex, and maturity stage on in situ summer growth of krill across the southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean.

Due to stagnant production and high cost of fish meal (FM), feed nutritionists are seeking reliable and affordable alternatives. However, low‐FM diets often result in poor palatability, reduced feed consumption (FC), and impaired growth. This study investigates the effects of replacing FM with plant proteins in diets with or without jack mackerel meal (

Food habits and dietary variability of pelagic nekton off Oregon and Washington, 1979-1984 [PDF]
The food habits of 20 species of pelagic nekton were investigated from collections made with small-mesh purse seines from 1979-84 off Washington and Oregon. Four species (spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias; soupfin shark, Galeorhinus zyopterus; blue shark,

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.

Macroplankton communities in Antarctic surface waters: spatial changes related to hydrography [PDF]
During the Anglo-German Antarctic expedition in February 1982 macroplankton was collected in the waters off the Antarctic Peninsula. Macroplankton compos~tions at 36 stations were compared and degrees of similarity submitted to hierarchical cluster ...

The Biodiversity of Peter I Island—The Most Remote Island in the World
Peter I Island is one of the most isolated and least visited islands on earth; lying within the Antarctic Polar Front but over 420 km from continental Antarctica. Here we assess the biodiversity of the island from both previous records and our own BioBlitz in January 2022.

Acoustic insights into the zooplankton dynamics of the eastern Weddell Sea [PDF]
The success of any efforts to determine the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems depends on understanding in the first instance the natural variations, which contemporarily occur on the interannual and shorter time scales.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba (Eucarida: Euphausiacea)
Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is a very important species in Antarctic ecosystem. The mitochondrial genome of E. superba was completed with 16,591 bp in length, gene arrangement and order was the same as previous studies. The overall A + T content is

KrillDB: A de novo transcriptome database for the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba).
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a key species in the Southern Ocean with an estimated biomass between 100 and 500 million tonnes. Changes in krill population viability would have catastrophic effect on the Antarctic ecosystem.
