Krill, or euphausiids, a group of immense importance in marine
ecosystems, comprises over 80 species, most of which are
planktonic. Krill are widespread with species to be found in all
the oceans of the world. Their numerical density in some regions
increases their importance to marine ecosystems and has led to
commercially successful krill harvesting.
This comprehensive volume, thoroughly edited by Inigo Everson,
well known for his work in this area, comprises chapters written by
internationally acknowledged experts. The contents include coverage
of: sampling and distribution, population, aggregation,
reproduction and the role of krill in the ecosystem. Further
specific chapters include krill harvesting, products and details of
management in Japanese, Canadian and Southern Ocean waters. Drawing
on the experience in each, the ecosystem approach to management is
discussed in detail and how it might be applied more widely for
example in forage fisheries.
This most important volume draws together, for the first time, a
vast amount of vital information for all those involved in work on
these important marine organisms. Krill will be of great use to
fisheries scientists, marine biologists and ecologists,
oceanographers, zoologists and invertebrate biologists and all
those involved in the commercial harvesting, exploitation and
management of krill, world wide. Libraries in all aquatic and
marine research stations and universities where marine and
fisheries sciences are studied and taught should have multiple
copies of this landmark publication on their shelves.
Contributions from internationally-recognised experts in the
field.
Well-edited to provide an accessible and user-friendly book.
Krill are a key part of ocean ecosystems.
Part of exciting new Blackwell Science Series.
