1. Size and stage composition of age class 0 Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the ice-water interface layer during winter/early spring

   Abstract:  The condition and survival of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) strongly depends on ... developmental stage. A comprehensive understanding of sea ice habitat use by krill, however, remains largely ... unknown. The aim of this study was to improve the understanding of the krill's interaction with the ... sea ice habitat during winter/early spring by conducting large-scale sampling of the ice-water ...

2. A quantified Bayesian maximum entropy estimate of Antarctic krill abundance across the Scotia Sea and in small-scale management units from the 2000 CCAMLR survey

   Abstract:  We present the results of an alternative method of estimating krill abundance, and ... producing maps of krill distribution, from the data collected during the 2000 CCAMLR survey of the Scotia ... unsurveyed off-transect portions of the survey area were found by interpolation, and thus values for total ... inferred. The MaxEnt formalism allows an objective choice of the parameters of the interpolation, and hence ...
