Krill Oil Inhibits Cholesterol Synthesis and Stimulated Cholesterol Excretion in Hypercholesterolemic Rats

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
The present study aimed to investigate the antihypercholesterolemic effects of krill oil supplementation in high-cholesterol diet-induced hypercholesterolemic rats, and the mechanisms underlying these effects.

Krill and salp faecal pellets contribute equally to the carbon flux at the Antarctic Peninsula

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Krill and salps are important for carbon flux in the Southern Ocean, but the extent of their contribution and the consequences of shifts in dominance from krill to salps remain unclear. We present a direct comparison of the contribution of krill and salp

Experimental determination of reflectance spectra of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the Scotia Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Antarctic krill are the dominant metazoan in the Southern Ocean in terms of biomass; however, their wide and patchy distribution means that estimates of their biomass are still uncertain.

Krill Yağı ve Sağlık Faydaları [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Krill oil is obtained from Euphausia superba, which lives in the oceans. Omega 3 fatty acidsin Krill oil are found in the form of phospholipids. Astaxanthin is a strongantioxidant compound.

A thorough annotation of the krill transcriptome offers new insights for the study of physiological processes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The krill species Euphausia superba plays a critical role in the food chain of the Antarctic ecosystem. Significant changes in climate conditions observed in the Antarctic Peninsula region in the last decades have already altered the distribution of ...

An optimal configuration for a battery and PEM fuel cell-based hybrid energy system using developed Krill herd optimization algorithm for locomotive application

open access: yes, 2020
A new methodology has been proposed for optimal size selection of a hybrid energy system (HES) including lithium-ion battery and polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell to supply the driving force of a locomotive. The main purpose is to minimize the

Krill excretion boosts microbial activity in the Southern Ocean.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Antarctic krill are known to release large amounts of inorganic and organic nutrients to the water column. Here we test the role of krill excretion of dissolved products in stimulating heterotrophic bacteria on the basis of three experiments where ...

Influence of individual state on swimming capacity and behaviour of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Swarms of Antarctic krill are frequently biased towards certain body sizes, sexes, maturities and physiological states. However, the mechanisms causing such biases remain unclear, with some speculating on differential responses to chemical or visual cues.

Super-aggregations of krill and humpback whales in Wilhelmina Bay, Antarctic Peninsula. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Ecological relationships of krill and whales have not been explored in the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), and have only rarely been studied elsewhere in the Southern Ocean.

Spatial link between Adélie penguin foraging effort and krill swarm abundance and distribution

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Understanding how predator foraging behaviour is influenced by the distribution and abundance of prey is a fundamental challenge in marine foraging ecology. This is particularly relevant in Southern Ocean ecosystems where the relationships between select
