Antarctic krill and its fishery: current status and challenges ...
Antarctic krill is a large, long-lived pelagic crustacean that is widely distributed around Antarctica and is among the most abundant wild animal species on Earth by biomass. Krill form dense swarms, are the main food source for many predators, and play important roles in biogeochemical cycles. Howe...

| Summary: | Antarctic krill is a large, long-lived pelagic crustacean that is widely distributed around Antarctica and is among the most abundant wild animal species on Earth by biomass. Krill form dense swarms, are the main food source for many predators, and play important roles in biogeochemical cycles. However, crucial gaps remain in our understanding of krill population dynamics. Resolving these uncertainties will be fundamental to improving management if the fishery targeting this species is to expand sustainably while fulfilling CCAMLR’s conservation goals. ... |
