| Summary: | The present book reflects the progress made over recent years in all lines of krill research. For 40 years, its editor Volker Siegel has devoted his scientific work to studies of the population dynamics of Antarctic krill. The list of contributors to the book is impressive and represents the worldwide community of krill researchers. Krill in a changing environment is the “leitmotiv” of the book in all its 11 chapters, particularly in Chaps. 2 and 3 on distribution, biomass and population dynamics, where fieldwork and computer modelling are intimately linked. The highly complex genetics of Antarctic krill (Chap. 7) are related to the extraordinary population size and the expanse of the circum-Antarctic distribution. Extensive recent studies have rejected former assumptions on the genetic subdivisions of E. superba. |
