State of the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) resources in the Sodruzhestva Sea area (Statistical Divisions 58.4.2 and 58.4.3) in 1988 to 1990

Interannual variations in krill quantative characteristics in the Sodruzhestva Sea area for the period from 1988 to 1990 are discussed in this paper. It has been established, that a considerable increase in the crustacea stock in 1990 was caused by good replenishment owing to the generations of 1986 and 1987 in the conditions of their weak expatriation in 1989–1990.
