Complete mitochondrial genome of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba (Eucarida: Euphausiacea) [PDF]
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

Towards Automated Classification of Zooplankton Using Combination of Laser Spectral Techniques and Advanced Chemometrics [PDF]
Zooplankton identification has been the subject of many studies. They are mainly based on the analysis of photographs (computer vision). However, spectroscopic techniques can be a good alternative due to the valuable additional information that they ...

Optimal input DNA thresholds for genome skimming in marine crustacean zooplankton [PDF]
Crustacean zooplanktons are key secondary and tertiary producers in marine ecosystems, yet their genomic resources remain poorly understood. To advance biodiversity research on crustacean zooplankton, this study evaluated the effectiveness of genome ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the ice krill Euphausia crystallorophias Holt & Tattersall, 1906 (Euphausiacea, Euphausiidae), from the Ross Sea, Antarctica [PDF]
The mitogenome of Euphausia crystallorophias collected from the Ross Sea Region Marine Protected Area (RSR MPA) is described for the first time. The assembled mitogenome was 17,291 bp in length and consisted of two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 22 transfer ...

Food and feeding behaviour of eel-cod Muraenolepis sp., (Pisces, Gadiformes, Muraenolepididae) from the region of South Georgia [PDF]
Amphipoda, Cumacea, and Macrura natantia constituted the basic food component of small eel-cod (< 20 cm). Average sized fish (20-30 cm) fed mostly on Macrura natantia and fish; big specimens (> 30 cm) consumed fish, Euphausiacea and Macrura

Food and feeding behaviour of Parachaenichthys georgianus (Fischer, 1885) and Parachaenichthys charcoti (Vaillant, 1906) (Pisces, Bathydraconidae) [PDF]
Studies were made on the content of 278 stomachs of Parachaenichthys georgianus from the region of South Georgia and 30 stomachs of Parachaenichthys charcoti from the region of South Shetlands. Small P. georgianus fed mostly on Mysidacea, medium-sized on

Biometric properties and diet of common pandora, Pagellus erythrinus (Osteichthyes: Sparidae), from the eastern Adriatic sea [PDF]
Biometric properties and diet composition were examined in 120 specimens of the common pandora caught in the eastern Adriatic Sea. Biometric analysis of the morphometric and meristic characteristics indicate a homogenous morphology stock of P ...

A new fossil mantis shrimp and the convergent evolution of a lobster-like morphotype [PDF]
Eumalacostracan crustaceans all have a more or less stereotypic body organisation in the sense of tagmosis. Originally, this included a head with six segments (ocular segment plus five appendage-bearing segments), a thorax region with eight segments, and
