Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of sea-ice extent and krill or salp dominance on the Antarctic food web
Valerie J. Loeb,Volker Siegel,Osmund Holm-Hansen,Roger P. Hewitt,William R. Fraser,Wayne Z. Trivelpiece,S. Trivelpiece +6 more
TL;DR: Data from 1995 and 1996 are provided that support hypothesized relationships between krill, salps and region-wide sea-ice conditions and suggest that decreased krill availability may affect the levels of their vertebrate predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oceanic circumpolar habitats of Antarctic krill
Angus Atkinson,Volker Siegel,E. A. Pakhomov,Peter Rothery,Valerie J. Loeb,Robin M. Ross,Langdon B. Quetin,Katrin Schmidt,Peter T. Fretwell,Eugene J. Murphy,Geraint A. Tarling,Andrew Fleming +11 more
TL;DR: The unusual circumpolar distribution of krill reflects a balance between advection, migration, top–down and bottom–up processes, and the retention ofKrill in moderately productive oceanic habitats is a key factor in their high total production.
Journal ArticleDOI
A re-appraisal of the total biomass and annual production of Antarctic krill
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used KRILLBASE data to estimate Euphausia superba's total biomass and production in the Southern Ocean using three independent methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Krill ( Euphausia superba ) distribution contracts southward during rapid regional warming
Angus Atkinson,Simeon L. Hill,E. A. Pakhomov,Volker Siegel,Christian S. Reiss,Valerie J. Loeb,Deborah K. Steinberg,Katrin Schmidt,Geraint A. Tarling,Laura Gerrish,Sévrine F. Sailley +10 more
TL;DR: This paper found evidence for environmental controls on recruitment, including a reduced density of juveniles following positive anomalies of the Southern Annular Mode, which may hinder egg production and the survival of larval krill.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in the biomass of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) around the South Shetland Islands, 1996–2006
TL;DR: The foundation for the new TS-model and the associated krill-discrimination algorithm, coupled with the agreement between acoustic- and net-survey results, provides strong support for the use of the new analytical technique.
