The fishery for Antarctic krill – recent developments
Abstract The fishery for Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) is the largest by tonnage in the Southern Ocean. The catch remained relatively stable at around 120 000 tonnes for 17 years until 2009, but has recently increased to more than 200 000 tonnes. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarc...
