Review of length-weight relationships for Antarctic krill
Abstract / Description:
Length-weight relationships for krill, Euphausia superba (as well as relationships for other Antarctic euphausiid species), are listed for ash-free dry weight, dry weight, and wet weight. The accuracy of length-weight relationship calculations is improved when information on sex and dominant maturity stages is taken into account. The influence of seasonal changes on length-weight relationship parameters is discussed. Recommendations for possible uses of reviewed length-weight relationships are presented.
