The Euphausia superba transcriptome database, Superba SE: An online, open resource for researchers
Abstract Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba) is a crucial component of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, acting as the major link between primary production and higher trophic levels with an annual predator demand of up to 470 million tonnes. It also acts as an ecosystem engineer, affecting carbon sequ...
