Feeding of Antarctic krill

ABSTRACT: During austral summer phytoplankton is the main component of food of E. superba postlarval stages. Diatomeae: Thalassiosira spp., Nitzschia spp. and tiny Pennatae constitue 98 % of all consumed food particles. 91 % of algae consumed were of 8—40 um, and their mean size is 21.4 um. The mean...
