A net sampling survey was carried out for krill in an established standard station grid around Elephant Island during 27 January to 4 February 2001. Results show a spatial separation of the juvenile and the spawning stock. The station grid was extended to the south, where a large proportion of small size classes, one year old juvenile krill was found. Krill density was significantly higher Read More
