Antarctic krill
euphausia superba latin

Antarctic krill has been recently discovered and is now considered a fine dish.

Several studies have shown toxic residues in Antarctic krill and fish.

Antarctic krill and other euphausiids are identified to developmental stage.

Antarctic krill are found in the seas surrounding the peninsula and the rest of the continent.

They compete for this title with Antarctic krill.

The harvesting of Antarctic krill is relatively new.

Some brand name krill oil products indicate that they use Antarctic krill.

They eat Antarctic krill, fish, and small squid.

Increased efficiencies in swimming in groups have been proposed for schools of fish and Antarctic krill.

The other contender is the Antarctic krill.

During the winter when food is scarce, adult Antarctic krill can revert to a smaller juvenile stage, using their own body as nutrition.

Their high abundance is a testament to the extreme success of Antarctic krill, the single species with the greatest biomass on the planet.

Since 2000, the small South Korean Antarctic krill fishery has also expanded considerably.

A possible decline in Antarctic krill biomass may have been caused by the reduction of the pack ice zone due to global warming.

Experiments have been carried out to pump Antarctic krill, while still in water, from the cod end of the net through a large tube on board.

Fishing for Antarctic krill is commonly done from large stern trawlers using midwater trawls.

Perhaps their most distinctive adaptation is the unique dentition that enables this species to sieve Antarctic krill.

High densities of invertebrates also live in the ocean, with Antarctic krill forming dense and widespread swarms during the summer.

The present estimate for the biomass of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is 379 million tonnes.

Antarctic krill can scrape off the green lawn of ice-algae from the underside of the pack ice.

Antarctic krill, especially in the early stages of development, seem to need the pack ice structures in order to have a fair chance of survival.

Antarctic krill rely on vision and on hydrodynamic signals relayed through its antennae.

Since drastic declines have occurred in the absence of heavy fishing, it's especially important to establish the population dynamics of Antarctic krill.

The most successful species worldwide, in terms of biomass, may be the Antarctic krill, with about five times the total biomass of humans.

Antarctic krill manages to directly utilize the minute phytoplankton cells, which no other higher animal of krill size can do.

This usually refers to the species of krill called Euphausia superba.

The single most prominent invertebrate species is the shrimp-like crustacean Euphausia superba.

The present estimate for the biomass of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is 379 million tonnes.

Copepods compete for this title with Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba).

Krill oil is made from a species of krill [Euphausia superba].

Rather, it is a specialist predator on Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), which comprise over 90% of the diet.

Krill, particularly Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), account for over 90% of food during breeding season.

The Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is one of the most abundant animal species on earth, with a biomass of around 500 million tonnes.

E. crystallorophias is found around the coasts of Antarctica, replacing the more oceanic Euphausia superba at latitudes above 74 south.

(In the Southern Ocean, Antarctic krill Euphausia superba fills a similar role.)

'Antarctic krill' ('Euphausia superba') is a species of krill found in the Antarctica waters of the Southern Ocean.

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) pups and seabirds other than penguins have also been found in leopard seal scats in small quantities.

Some high-latitude species of krill can live for more than six years (e.g., Euphausia superba); others, such as the mid-latitude species Euphausia pacifica, live for only two years.

A major food source for Antarctic fish, penguins, pelagic seabirds, seals, and whales, krill ( Euphausia superba ) look like shrimp, but weigh just a gram as adults and measure about six centimeters long (Figure 1).

Other prey commonly recorded include other fish of the family Nototheniidae, the Glacial Squid (Psychroteuthis glacialis), and the hooked squid species Kondakovia longimana, as well as Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba).

In the Southern Hemisphere, prey species include the copepods Neocalanus tonsus, Calanus simillimus, and Drepanopus pectinatus, as well as the euphausiids Euphausia superba and Euphausia vallentini and the pelagic amphipod Themisto gaudichaudii.
