Antarctic (Euphausia superba) and northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegica) are characterised by largescalespatial distributions. Euphausia superba is limited to the Southern Ocean, while M. norvegica is present from theArctic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. Euphausia superba structural lipids show...
