Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) exhibit positive phototaxis to white LED light
The use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is increasingly used in fishing gears and its application is known to trigger negative or positive phototaxis (i.e., swimming away or toward the light source, respectively) for some marine species. However, our understanding of how artificial light influences...

The use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is increasingly used in fishing gears and its application is known to trigger negative or positive phototaxis (i.e., swimming away or toward the light source, respectively) for some marine species.

In this study, we tested whether exposure to white LED light could initiate a phototactic response in Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ).
