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).Eup...
