North Atlantic warming over six decades drives decreases in krill abundance with no associated range shift
In the North Atlantic, euphausiids (krill) form a major link between primary production and predators including commercially exploited fish. This...

Dietary antarctic krill improves antioxidant capacity, immunity and reduces lipid accumulation, insights from physiological and transcriptomic analysis of Plectropomus leopardus
BackgroundDue to its enormous biomass, Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) plays a crucial role in the Antarctic Ocean ecosystem. In recent years,...

Protective effect and mechanism insight of purified Antarctic krill phospholipids against mice ulcerative colitis combined with bioinformatics
Antarctic krill oil is functional oil and has a complex phospholipids composition that poses difficulties in elucidating its effect mechanism on...

Consumption of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba by mackerel icefish, Champsocephalus gunnari off the South Orkney Islands: filling an information gap in the current ecosystem-based management approach
The Antarctic marine ecosystem is largely dominated by Euphausia superba, the most abundant krill species consumed by a wide array of predators,...

Selective feeding in Southern Ocean key grazers—diet composition of krill and salps
Over the past decades, two key grazers in the Southern Ocean (SO), krill and salps, have experienced drastic changes in their distribution and...

Regional diet in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) as determined by lipid, fatty acid, and sterol composition
Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) are a circumpolar species with an omnivorous diet. Knowledge of krill diet within different regions will help...

Krill finder: spatial distribution of sympatric fin (Balaenoptera physalus) and humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae) whales in the Southern Ocean
AbstractFin ( Balaenoptera physalus , Linnaeus 1758) and humpback ( Megaptera novaeangliae , Borowski 1781) whales feed during the austral summer in...

Estimating the average distribution of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba at the northern Antarctic Peninsula during austral summer and winter
This study was performed to aid the management of the fishery for Antarctic krill Euphausia superba . Krill are an important component of the...

Energy content of krill and amphipods in the Barents Sea from summer to winter: variation across species and size
Arctic zooplankton develop large energy reserves, as an adaptation to strong seasonality, making them valuable prey items. We quantified the energy...

Size structure of Antarctic krill inferred from samples of Pygoscelid penguin diets and those collected by the commercial krill fishery
In the Antarctic Peninsula, during the chick-rearing period Adélie ( Pygoscelis adeliae ) and gentoo ( P. papua ) penguins feed primarily on Antarctic...
-
Sea-ice habitat minimizes grazing impact and predation risk for larval Antarctic krill
Survival of larval Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) during winter is largely dependent upon the presence of sea ice as it provides an important...

Update on the abundance and distribution of Macaroni Penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) in the Antarctic Peninsula region
Several studies have examined the potential impacts of climate change on the abundance and distribution of Antarctic penguin species, particularly in...

At-sea distribution of marine predators around South Georgia during austral winter, with implications for fisheries management
The sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia is surrounded by highly productive waters, supporting dense aggregations of Antarctic krill ( Euphausia...

The feeding strategies of the antarctic lanternfish electrona antarctica (pisces: myctophidae) in the amundsen and cosmonaut seas (southern ocean), assessed with a classification tree analysis
Myctophid fishes represent an important trophic link between zooplankton and higher trophic level predators in the oceanic ecosystems of the Southern...

Spatial occurrence and abundance of marine zooplankton in Northeast Greenland
We present a large-scale survey of mesozooplankton (size range 0.2–20 mm) across coastal, shelf, and slope locations in Northeast Greenland...
-
An integrated field-laboratory investigation of the effects of low oxygen and pH on North Pacific krill (Euphausia pacifica)
Krill are abundant and ecologically important zooplankton that inhabit dynamic environments characterized by strong natural variability, but global...
