Advances in Technologies for Highly Active Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Krill Oil: Clinical Applications

Marine Drugs, 2021
Euphausia superba, commonly known as krill, is a small marine crustacean from the Antarctic Ocean that plays an important role in the marine ecosystem, serving as feed for most fish.

Hemispherical Distribution of Antarctic Krill Indicates High Abundance in Amundsen Sea

Oceans
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are an essential source of food for whale, seal, several fish, squid and seabird species in the Southern Ocean. Krill also play a major role in biogeochemical cycling and are the target of a growing commercial fishery.

Krill Oil for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
Importance Knee osteoarthritis is disabling, with few effective treatments. Preliminary evidence suggested that krill oil supplementation improved knee pain, but effects on knee osteoarthritis remain unclear. Objective To evaluate efficacy of krill oil

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

Communications Earth & Environment, 2020
Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, supports a valuable commercial fishery in the Southwest Atlantic, which holds the highest krill densities and is warming rapidly.

The Effects of Combined Ocean Acidification and Nanoplastic Exposures on the Embryonic Development of Antarctic Krill

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In aquatic environments, plastic pollution occurs concomitantly with anthropogenic climate stressors such as ocean acidification. Within the Southern Ocean, Antarctic krill (Euphausia Superba) support many marine predators and play a key role in the ...

A krill herd behaviour inspired load balancing of tasks in cloud computing [PDF]

, 2017
A developing trend in the IT environment is mobile cloud computing (MCC) with colossal infrastructural and resource requirements. In the cloud computing environment, load balancing – a way of distributing workloads across numerous computing resources, is

Antarctic krill sequester similar amounts of carbon to key coastal blue carbon habitats

Nature Communications
The carbon sequestration potential of open-ocean pelagic ecosystems is vastly under-reported compared to coastal vegetation ‘blue carbon’ systems. Here we show that just a single pelagic harvested species, Antarctic krill, sequesters a similar amount of ...

Energy densities of key prey species in the California Current Ecosystem

Frontiers in Marine Science
The energetic content of primary and secondary consumers is central to understanding ecosystem functioning, community assembly, and trophodynamics. However, these foundational data are often limited, especially for marine ecosystems.

Selective feeding in Southern Ocean key grazers—diet composition of krill and salps

Communications Biology, 2021
Over the past decades, two key grazers in the Southern Ocean (SO), krill and salps, have experienced drastic changes in their distribution and abundance, leading to increasing overlap of their habitats. Both species occupy different ecological niches and
