Antarctic krill swimming between the Southern Ocean's surface and seafloor depths, make a "surprisingly small" contribution ...

They examined temperatures, krill distribution and plankton concentrations, among other factors. An imperative issue being researched is the protection of Antarctic krill stocks. China is heavily ...

If and how zooplankton such as krill can adapt to a warmer ocean has been poorly understood until now. By sequencing and comparing the DNA of 74 specimens from different parts of the North ...

From May through November, when the lunar tide pushes against the Indian Ocean's southwestern monsoon current, a suction effect pulls tropical krill and other plankton from deep water up to the ...

Plankton are a collection of tiny organisms that live at and beneath the surface of lakes, rivers, ponds, and oceans across the planet. They’re named for the Greek word planktos, meaning to ...

Recent research has focused on understanding the impacts of these changes on various marine species, including cetaceans, krill, and zooplankton, which play crucial roles in maintaining the health ...

Whales for example can absorb tons of carbon as their diet consists mainly of plankton and tiny shrimplike crustaceans called krill. A single whale can absorb around 33 tonnes, or 33,000 kilograms ...

Antarctic krill swimming between the Southern Ocean's surface and seafloor depths, make a "surprisingly small" contribution to the carbon export ...

Its habitat is highly influenced by the cold, nutrient-rich Humboldt Current flowing northward from Antarctica, which is vital to the productivity of plankton and krill and fosters fish abundance.
