Cycles of Euphausia superba recruitment evident in the diet of Pygoscelid penguins and net trawls in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica
Abstract: Size and sex of Antarctic krill taken from chinstrap and gentoo penguin diet were ... evaluate penguin diet as a sampling mechanism and to look at trends in krill populations. Both penguin diet ... and net samples revealed a 4-5 year cycle in krill recruitment with one or two strong cohorts ... sustaining the population during each cycle. Penguin diet samples contained adult krill of similar lengths to ...
