The other krill: overwintering physiology of adult Thysanoessa inermis (Euphausiacea) from the high‑Arctic Kongsfjord

open access: yesAquatic 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]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Acoustic Observations Unveil Seasonal Fluctuations and Regulation of Zooplankton Biomass and Its Vertical Distribution at a Mid‐Latitude Long‐Term Ocean Observatory

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Zooplanktonic organisms are considered a key link between different trophic levels. The ecosystem structure and dynamics are affected by changes in their population and phenology. In this work, the causes and timing of changes within the seasonal cycle of zooplankton biomass vertical distribution in oceanic waters of the Bay of Biscay were ...

Horizontal and vertical distribution of mesozooplankton species richness and composition down to 2,300 m in the southwest Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2014
We describe the species richness, distribution and composition of mesozooplankton over the continental shelf and slope, and in the water masses in the Campos Basin, southwest Atlantic Ocean. We analyzed the mesozooplankton from two oceanographic cruises (
