Summary: | expedition 1981*) ABSTRACT: Stocks of krill in the southern part of the Drake Passage and in the Bransfield Strait were estimated by the hydroacoustic method, during the BIOMASS--FIBEX expedition (Febr.-March 1981). Krill stocks in the Drake Passage and Bransfield Strait were assessed at about 1.2 and 2.3 mln tons, respectively. A map of krill distribution in these regions was prepared. The main krill biomass (66%) was found to occur within the Bransfield Strait which accounts for only 13.7 % of the total area under survey. Key w o r d s: Antarctic, krill stocks 1. |
