A comparison of acoustic targets at South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands during a season of profound krill scarcity
Abstract: Dual frequency (38 and 120 kHz) acoustic surveys of shelf-break regions in the vicinity ... of Willis Islands, South Georgia and Coronation Island, South Orkneys, both in the Atlantic sector of ... zooplankton (smaller than krill). To counter the absence of krill length-frequency data from Coronation Island ... distribution in both regions was extremely patchy, resulting in a highly skewed frequency distribution of ...
