    Abstract

    Hydroacoustic and net sampling data were used to determine the distribution and abundance of krill. In an attempt to address the effect that variability in sampling gear type may have on specific population parameters (e.g. size frequency, abundance and distribution), a multi-year comparison of these types of samp1ing gear commonly used in the Antarctic has been initiated.
