Data from the Eduardo L Holmberg FIBEX survey have been re-examined for incorporation into the BIOMASS Database in the approved standardised format. The results indicate the krill were concentrated to the western end of the South Orkney Islands. Density values are consistent with those from other FIBEX surveys.

A theoretical prolate spheroid liquid model is applied to predict the target strength (TS) of krill. Scattering patterns are shown to demonstrate orientation dependence of krill TS. Length-to- wavelength ratio (L/λ) dependencies of reduced (normalized by body length squared) target strength are shown for some orientation distributions. The results can explain well-organized experimental Read More

Acoustic methods appear to be the best way to estimate Antarctic krill abundance directly. Information on body orientation, however, is needed to obtain reliable krill acoustic target strength (TS) values, since TS varies with body orientation.

This paper summaries Japanese krill catch data during austral summer in 1991/92 season. A main fishing ground was persistently formed north of the Livingston island. CPUEs show the highest values at the height of summer (late January - late March). Krill with modal lengths of 41-45 mm were dominant in catches, ca. 5mm smaller than those for the previous season.

During 1979 to 1991, relationship between the size of Antarctic krill and the extent of the sea ice in the sea area around the South Shetland Islands are described. Mean size of krill near the coastal zone appeared to be small in summer season just after a strong ice extent had occurred. This implies that strong recruitment of small size krill had occurred just after the season with the strong Read More
