5. Status of krill target strength

   Abstract:  Empirical estimates for the target strength of krill are extracted from the literature ... cause of bias in single-animal measurements, namely thresholding. Theoretical estimates for the target ... strength are derived from the deformed-cylinder scattering model assuming specific sets of physical and ... orientational parameters, for which there is an empirical basis. The theoretical estimates show a non-monotonic ...

6. Competition-induced starvation drives large-scale population cycles in Antarctic krill

   Abstract:  Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)—one of the most abundant animal species on Earth ... . Previous studies have postulated that the krill cycle is induced by periodic climatological factors, but ... , we identify intraspecific competition for food as the main driver of the krill cycle, while external ... that the cycle amplitude increases with reduction of krill loss rates. Thus, a decline of apex ...
