TL;DR: The relative intensity of the zooplankton patchiness was greater than that of the phytoplankon at all spatial scales, with this difference becoming progressively greater for finer-scale features.

Omnivorous feeding behavior of the antarctic krill Euphausia superba
TL;DR: Results, indicating efficient feeding on zooplankton and higher clearance rates on phytoplankon than previously believed, represent a step towards balancing the energy budget of E. superba in Antarctic waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding of the antarctic krill euphausia superba
TL;DR: Measurements of rates of feeding indicate that Euphausia superba can feed on particles ranging from nanophytoplankton to macrozooplankton; a typical animal of 120 mg dry weight processes about 450 ml water per h and eats at a maximum about 10% of its body carbon per day.
