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 ... the coastal zone appeared to be small in summer season just after a strong ice extent had occurred ... . This implies that strong recruitment of small size krill had occurred just after the season with the ...

A simple approach for calculating the potential yield of krill from biomass survey results
Abstract: Estimates are calculated for the parameter λ in the yield equation Y = λ M B0 for a ... kri11 fishery in which both the fishery and kri11 growth are seasonal. The criterion used for the ... calculations is that the probability that the kri11 spawning biomass drops below 20% of its average pre ... -exploitation level over a 20 year period of harvesting should not exceed l0%. The value of λ depends strongly ...
