Distribution and biological properties of the Antarctic krill Euphausia superba DANA during winter Weddell Gyre Study (WWGS) 1989
Samplings with Bongo net and observations on the krill predators (e. g. crabeater seals, Adelie penguins) were conducted for studying distribution and biological properties of the Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba in the western Weddell Gyre during the international Winter Weddell Gyre Study in Sep...
