Big things come in small packages. Biomass contribution of the krill Thysanoessa macrura to the marine ecosystem in the Kerguelen Plateau region
Southern Ocean krill ( Thysanoessa macrura ) area small and abundant species of krill in the SouthernOcean. It is considered the second most abundantkrill species, with Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba )the biomass dominant species in Antarctic waters(Makarov, 1979; Hosie, 1991; Nordhausen, 1992)...
