Images as proximity sensors : the incidence of conspecific foraging in Antarctic fur seals [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Although there have been recent advances in the development of animal-attached ‘proximity’ tags to remotely record the interactions of multiple individuals, the efficacy of these devices depends on the instrumentation of sufficient animals ...

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

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 ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Monitoring Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) distribution in the Southern Ocean: environmental DNA (eDNA) adds to the toolbox

Frontiers in Marine Science
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) is a key species of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, immensely abundant and targeted by the krill fishery. For their sustainable management, krill distribution and biomass estimates are required, typically achieved ...

Safety assessment of Superba™ krill powder: Subchronic toxicity study in rats

Toxicology Reports, 2015
The safety of krill powder was assessed in a subchronic 13-week toxicity study where rats were fed krill powder or control diets. The krill powder inclusion in the test diet was 9.67% (w/w).

Almond (Amygdalus communis L.) Peptides Improve Scopolamine‐Induced Learning and Memory Impairment in Mice

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Figure Schematic showing the improvement of almond peptides on learning and memory impairment induced by scopolamine in mice. Almond peptides (APs) could improve the learning and memory in scopolamine‐induced mice by maintaining cholinergic system homeostasis and regulating Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway, via activating the Nrf2 transcription factor and ...

North Atlantic warming over six decades drives decreases in krill abundance with no associated range shift

Communications Biology, 2021
In the North Atlantic, euphausiids (krill) form a major link between primary production and predators including commercially exploited fish. This basin is warming very rapidly, with species expected to shift northwards following their thermal tolerances.

Effects of krill oil and lean and fatty fish on cardiovascular risk markers: a randomised controlled trial

Journal of Nutritional Science, 2018
Fish consumption and supplementation with n-3 fatty acids reduce CVD risk. Krill oil is an alternative source of marine n-3 fatty acids and few studies have investigated its health effects.

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.

The importance of Antarctic krill in biogeochemical cycles

Nature Communications, 2019
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are swarming, oceanic crustaceans, up to two inches long, and best known as prey for whales and penguins – but they have another important role.
