Southern Ocean krill ( Thysanoessa macrura ) are a small and abundant species of krill in the Southern Ocean. It is considered the second most abundant krill species, with Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) the biomass dominant species in Antarctic waters (Makarov, 1979; Hosie, 1991; Nordhausen,...
