| Summary |
|
|
|
|
| Ø | Morphological
index suggests that shrinkage is not a |
||
| significant overwintering strategy for krill collected
in |
|||
| Marguerite Bay.
(lipofuscin
calibration forthcoming). |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Ø | Lipid analysis
suggest (and stomach contents confirm) that |
||||
| sub-adult and adult E. superba are omnivorous in
winter, but |
|||||
| larvae feed on sea-ice associated organisms and |
|||||
| phytoplankton. |
|||||
|
|
|
|
|
| Ø | Lipid class and
individual composition suggest E. superba |
|||
| is less dependent on lipid stores than E.
crystallorophias in |
||||
| winter. |
