Spatiotemporal Overlap of Baleen Whales and Krill Fisheries in the Western Antarctic Peninsula Region

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
In Antarctica, abundant consumers rely on Antarctic krill for food, but krill are also the subject of a commercial fishery. The fishery overlaps in time and space with the foraging areas of these consumers, thus potential competition between krill ...

Insight into the Gel Properties of Antarctic Krill and Pacific White Shrimp Surimi Gels and the Feasibility of Polysaccharides as Texture Enhancers of Antarctic Krill Surimi Gels

Foods, 2022
Antarctic krill is a potential and attractive resource for consumption. However, most Antarctic krill meat is used to produce primary products with low commercial value, with few highly processed products.

Emerging Pollutants in Chinstrap Penguins and Krill from Deception Island (South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) [PDF]

Toxics
This study aimed to evaluate the presence of emerging pollutants [perfluorinated compounds, phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA)] in chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) and krill (Euphausia superba) from Deception Island (South Shetland Islands ...

Successful ecosystem-based management of Antarctic krill should address uncertainties in krill recruitment, behaviour and ecological adaptation

Communications Earth & Environment, 2020
Understanding of Antarctic krill must be at the heart of krill fishery management in order to protect the stock and its predators, according to a synthesis of krill ecology research.

The Interplay of Mycosporine-like Amino Acids between Phytoplankton Groups and Northern Krill (Thysanoessa sp.) in a High-Latitude Fjord (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard)

Marine Drugs, 2022
We investigated pigment and mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) concentrations of phytoplankton and Northern krill (Thysanoessa sp.) in sub-Arctic Kongsfjorden. Chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentrations in the surface and middle-layer water were 0.44 μg L−1 (±0.

Novel Ca-Chelating Peptides from Protein Hydrolysate of Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba): Preparation, Characterization, and Calcium Absorption Efficiency in Caco-2 Cell Monolayer Model

Marine Drugs, 2023
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is the world’s largest resource of animal proteins and is thought to be a high-quality resource for future marine healthy foods and functional products.

A surplus no more? Variation in krill availability impacts reproductive rates of Antarctic baleen whales

Global Change Biology, 2023
The krill surplus hypothesis of unlimited prey resources available for Antarctic predators due to commercial whaling in the 20th century has remained largely untested since the 1970s.

Organic or junk food? Microplastic contamination in Antarctic krill and salps

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Microplastics (MP) have been reported in Southern Ocean (SO), where they are likely to encounter Antarctic zooplankton and enter pelagic food webs. Here we assess the presence of MP within Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and salps (Salpa thompsoni ...

Distribution and biomass estimation of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) off the South Orkney Islands during 2011–2020

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2023
Antarctic krill is a key species in the Southern Ocean and subject to the most extensive fishery in the Antarctic. The Norwegian Institute of Marine Research has conducted acoustic-trawl monitoring of krill off the South Orkneys annually since 2011 in ...
