• An overview of Southern Ocean zooplankton data: abundance, biomass, feeding and functional relationships (2012, background): “Euphausia superba has been reviewed recently (Siegel, 2005; Nicol, 2006; Atkinson et al., 2008) and is included here for comparison.”
• Effects of climate change and fisheries bycatch on Southern Ocean seabirds : a review (2012, unknown): “In the Southern Ocean it has been established that ice-edge blooms have a productivity 4- to 8-fold that of open water (Smith & Nelson 1986), and have high densities of krill (Brierley et al. 2002, Nicol 2006).”
• Biogeneration of chromophoric dissolved organic matter by bacteria and krill in the Southern Ocean (2009, background): “Finally, krill, which plays a key role controlling primary production and recycling processes in the Southern Ocean (Nicol 2006; Tovar-Sánchez et al. 2007), is abundant (Brierley and Watkins 2000; Nicol 2006).”
• Feeding and overwintering of Antarctic krill across its major habitats: The role of sea ice cover, water depth, and phytoplankton abundance (2014, background): “An example is the seasonal onshelf–offshelf migration of adult krill (Siegel 1988), which has been considered* Corresponding author: aat@pml.ac.uk 17 an evolved life history of krill to exploit their seasonally variable environment (Nicol 2006).”
• Paradigm lost, or is top-down forcing no longer significant in the Antarctic marine ecosystem? (2007, methodology): “…working under the climate change paradigm in the “relatively pristine” AME (e.g. a concept used in the summaries by Croxall et al. 2002, Smetacek & Nicol 2005), the current hypothesis is that it is simply changed sea ice that is responsible for a similar dramatic rise in gelatinous creatures…”
• Seabed foraging by Antarctic krill: Implications for stock assessment, bentho‐pelagic coupling, and the vertical transfer of iron (2011, background): “…and benthic feeding by krill—the causes, the nutritional benefit, and the part of the population involved—are still missing; and, therefore, the phenomenon is not incorporated into krill energy budgets (Fach et al. 2006), life history models (Nicol 2006), or stock assessments (Siegel 2005).”
• Krill, climate, and contrasting future scenarios for Arctic and Antarctic fisheries (2014, background): “superba) is dominant and very abundant (Rockliffe and Nicol, 2002) with an estimated 350–500 million tonnes of Antarctic krill in the Southern Ocean (Nicol, 2006; Atkinson et al., 2009).”
• Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean (2014, background): “A series of gyres have been mapped around the continent, which are associated with stable concentrations of Antarctic krill (Nicol 2006).”
• Antarctic Marine Biodiversity: Adaptations, Environments and Responses to Change (2018, background): “Sea ice itself has positive aspects for some biota, as productivity on or just within the basal surface of ice (epontic) can result in large standing biomass on the undersides of the ice that many species exploit, including juvenile krill in winter (Marschall 1988, Nicol 2006, Wiedenmann et al.”
• Extreme diel variation in the feeding behavior of humpback whales along the western Antarctic Peninsula during autumn (2013, background): “…dense aggregations (Nowa - cek et al. 2011) prior to the formation of winter sea ice. Sea ice algal communities act as a food resource for juvenile krill (Nicol 2006), and importantly for adult krill, ice cover provides them with protection from air-breathing predators, including baleen whales.”
• Oceanic circumpolar habitats of Antarctic krill (2008, background): “…have been proposed, including sea ice (Mackintosh 1973, Brierley et al. 2002), gyres (Marr 1962, Pakhomov 2000, Nicol 2006), fronts (Spiridonov 1996, Witek et al. 1988, Tynan 1998), shelf edges (Siegel 2005, Nicol 2006) and high food concentrations (Constable et al. 2003, Atkinson et al. 2004).”
