The distribution and standing crops of Antarctic krill in the Prydz Bay region during the austral summer of 1991/1992 and 1992/1993

Abstract

Abstract:

The horizontal and vertical distributions of Antarctic krill in the Prydz Bay region were investigated in 1991/1992 and 1992/1993. The result showed that the high density distribution area of Antarctic krill was within the area of 63°～67°S 、68°E and the waters of above 70 m deep. The standing crops of Antarctic kill was 1.699×10⁶ t within the surveyed area of 150533.9 km² in 1991/1992 and 4.043×10⁶ t within the surveyed area of 125740.7 km² in 1992/1993.

Key words: Antarctic krill, distribution, standing crops, Prydz Bay
