3. Variability and predictability of Antarctic krill swarm structure

   Abstract:  Swarming is a fundamental part of the life of Euphausia superba, yet we still know very ... little about what drives the considerable variability in swarm shape, size and biomass. We examined ... swarms across the Scotia Sea in January and February 2003 using a Simrad EK60 (38 kHz, 120 kHz ... ) echosounder, concurrent with net sampling. The acoustic data were analysed through applying a swarm ...
