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