Acoustic estimates of Antarctic krill biomass measured in four surveys around Elephant Island during the American Antarctic Marine Living Resources 1990 (AMLR90) cruises were analyzed to examine spatial and temporal variability in absolute biomass. Each survey took 5-6 days to complete, and survey m...
