The importance of Antarctic krill in biogeochemical cycles
Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) are swarming, oceanic crustaceans, up to two inches long,and best known as prey for whales and penguins but they have another important role. Withtheir large size, high biomass and daily vertical migrations they transport and transformessential nutrients, stimul...
