Laboratory target strength measurements of free swimming Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)
beam monostatic system in a 10 m3 laboratory tank. Krill (grouped according to length classes) swam ... freely in the tank triggering the data acquisition system when generating a back scattered signal larger ... single animal insonifications. For mean length classes in the range [29.6, 36.2] mm the median single ... -animal target strengths are in the range [-76.7,-71.8] dB. Monte Carlo computer simulations were used to ...

An attempt to derive a composite index of abundance from acoustic surveys and fishery data
distribution of fishing effort in the Chilean krill fishery indicate an area of high krill density wrapping ... around the northwestern end of Elephant Island during the austral summer of 1992. In this area, the ... . In addition, the data suggest that the abundance of krill in the Elephant Island area can change ... rapidly, and when krill do come into to the area they are most often found in water 100m-500m depth along ...

Sensitivity analysis identifies high influence sites for estimates of penguin krill consumption on the Antarctic Peninsula
. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a significant component of diet for penguins breeding in this region ... in krill predation estimates. We use a comprehensive database of Antarctic penguin abundances to ... of pygoscelid penguins breeding in this region. We find that a high quality survey of Zavodovski ... Island alone would decrease uncertainty in total population by 24.8%, whereas high quality surveys of all ...

Circumpolar connections between Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) populations: Investigating the roles of ocean and sea ice transport
in the Southern Ocean. Krill have a close association with sea ice which provides access to a ... critical food source and shelter, particularly in the early life stages. Advective modelling of transport ... potential roles of the ocean and sea ice in maintaining the observed circumpolar krill distribution. We show ... that the Antarctic Coastal Current is likely to be important in generating the large-scale distribution ...
