Some characteristics of krill transport in the Scotia Sea based on the Russian survey data
Abstract: In this work the characteristics of krill transport across the SSMUs determined on the ... basis of long-term Russian research in Area 48 are considered. Estimates of mean current velocities ... of water masses is possible during one fishing season. These processes of water mass replacement will ... be accompanied with krill biomass transport across the boundaries of the SSMUs. Our estimates of ...

Status of krill target strength
Abstract: Empirical estimates for the target strength of krill are extracted from the literature ... . These are confined to measurements on aggregations of live euphausiids, which should avoid a frequent ... 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 ...
