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

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 ...

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 ...

Quantifying the Escape Mortality of Trawl Caught Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba). [PDF]
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is an abundant fishery resource, the harvest levels of which are expected to increase. However, many of the length classes of krill can escape through commonly used commercial trawl mesh sizes. A vital component of the

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 ...

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 ...

The reproductive success of southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) depends on body condition and, therefore, on foraging success. This, in turn, might be affected by climatically driven change in the abundance of the species main prey, krill ...

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.
