Flexible adaptation of the seasonal krill maturity cycle in the laboratory

Under controlled laboratory conditions, the influence of various light regimes on the maturation cycle of Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) was investigated. An accelerated rate of maturity regression occurred when krill commenced sexual regression under complete darkness. Krill can therefore fl...
