6. Note on relationship between the Antarctic krill and annual variation of ice edge during 1979 to 1992

   Abstract:  During 1979 to 1991, relationship between the size of Antarctic krill and the extent ... of the sea ice in the sea area around the South Shetland Islands are described. Mean size of krill near ... . This implies that strong recruitment of small size krill had occurred just after the season with the strong ice ... circumpolar trough. Therefore, it could be suggested climate and ecology of krill populations are closely ...

8. Krill caught by predators and nets: differences between species and techniques

   Abstract:  Samples of Antarctic krill collected from six seabird species and Antarctic fur seal ... during February 1986 at South Georgia were compared to krill from scientific nets fished in the area ... at the same time. The length-frequency distribution of krill was broadly similar between predators and nets ... although the krill taken by diving species formed a homogeneous group which showed significant differences ...
