We investigated the ontogeny of behavior during the transition in Euphausia superba from dispersed solitary larvae to clumped swarms and schools of furciliae. We directly observed behavior of krill larvae in the Gerlache Strait, Antarctica, with open‐ocean SCUBA techniques. In the absence of ice, is...
