Distribution of Antarctic krill concentrations exploited by Japanese krill trawlers and minke whates
krill fishing and minke whaling (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) data was investigated in relation to bottom ... sectors. In early summer (December) the areas of operation for both fisheries were affected by the ... latitudinal position and shape of the pack-ice edge. Harvesting was frequently conducted in the vicinity of a ... more southerly positioned pack-ice edge. Whaling was also undertaken in the embayments created by the ...
