A note on stomach contents of minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in Icelandic waters
NAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2000 There is limited available information on food habits of minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in coastal Iceland. Sixty-eight minke whales were examined for stomach contents; 51.5% contained fish only, 22.1 % krill (Euphausiacea) only, 25.0% fish ...

Development of Thysanopoda egregia (Euphausiacea) furciliae and early juvenile [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2013 Author(s): Brinton, E; Townsend, AW; Knight, MD; Ohman, MD | Abstract: Nine furcilia and the early juvenile phase of the deep-sea euphausiid Thysanopoda egregia Hansen, 1905 are described and illustrated for the first time. This identification of the bathypelagic species is made on the basis of the very large, well-developed and dark-brown eyes, short ...

Ecosystem maturation follows the warming of the Arctic fjords
Oceanologia, 2017 Two fjords in West Spitsbergen (Hornsund 77°N and Kongsfjorden 79°N) differ with regard to their exposure towards increasingly warm Atlantic water inflow.

A fast and reliable molecular method to detect Anisakidae in zooplanktonic Euphausiacea
ParasiteAnisakidae is a family of marine nematodes, largely monitored in fish and cephalopods due to their zoonotic risk for human consumers. However, there is a need to further study the ecology of this family to better predict infection dynamics, particularly ...

Taxonomic review of the orders Mysida and Stygiomysida (crustacea, peracarida). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The order Mysida (2 families, 178 genera, 1132 species) contains species across a broad range of habitats, such as subterranean, fresh, brackish, coastal, and surface to deep-sea habitats. The Stygiomysida (2 families, 2 genera, 16 species), however, are

Revealing zooplankton diversity in the midnight zone
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Zooplankton diversity in the deep “midnight zone” (>1000 m), where sunlight does not reach, remains largely unknown. Uncovering such diversity has been challenging because of the major difficulties in sampling deep pelagic fauna and identifying many ...

Using ecological partitions to assess zooplankton biogeography and seasonality
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Zooplankton play a crucial role in marine ecosystems as the link between the primary producers and higher trophic levels, and as such they are key components of global biogeochemical and ecosystem models. While phytoplankton spatial-temporal dynamics can

Aquatic Biology, 2015 Polar environments like the high-Arctic Kongsfjord are characterized by pronounced seasonality leading to strong variations in primary production. Food sources are particularly scarce during winter. Herbivorous krill, such as the arcto-boreal Thysanoessa

Chromosome Diversity in Mediterranean and Antarctic Euphausiid Species (Euphausiacea) [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1998 Chromosome number and morphology were studied in gonadal tissue from eight euphausiid species, using an air-drying technique and Giemsa staining. Among Mediterranean species, haploid chromosome numbers were: n = 19 in Euphausia hemigibba, Euphausia brevis, and Nematoscelis megalops, n = 18 in Euphausia krohni, and n = 11 in Nyctiphanes couchi.
