• Distribution, Biomass and Demography of Antarctic Krill, Euphausia superba (2016, background): “The southern part of the Lazarev Sea is regarded as a gateway to the Weddell Sea and the entrance of the krill population into the Weddell Gyre system (Mackintosh 1973; Maslennikov 1980) which would contribute to the recorded high krill concentrations in the Scotia Sea (Atkinson et al. 2008).”
• Microplastics in the Antarctic marine system: An emerging area of research. (2017, background): “Antarctic krill, the ecologically important filter feeder, has an uneven population distribution, both spatially and temporally, with ~25% of the biomass concentrated in 10% of its total habitat area, namely the Scotia Sea and Drake Passage (Atkinson et al., 2008).”
• Physiology, growth, and development of larval krill Euphausia superba in autumn and winter in the Lazarev Sea, Antarctica (2009, background): “The Lazarev Sea is located on the eastern fringe of an area of high krill abundance stretching from the western Antarctic Peninsula to the Greenwich Meridian (Marr 1962; Atkinson et al. 2008).”
• Developing integrated models of Southern Ocean food webs: Including ecological complexity, accounting for uncertainty and the importance of scale (2012, neutral): “For example, Antarctic krill dominate in ecosystems where large diatoms are the main autotrophs, such as around the Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Sea regions (Atkinson et al., 2008).”
• Feeding ecology of myctophid fishes in the northern Scotia Sea (2009, background): “Given that krill biomass estimates (100 Mt; Atkinson et al. 2008) are roughly equivalent to those of myctophids in the Southern Ocean (70 to 200 Mt; Lubimova et al. 1987), it is possible that myctophids are contributing a similar order of active carbon flux in this ocean region.”
• Feeding and overwintering of Antarctic krill across its major habitats: The role of sea ice cover, water depth, and phytoplankton abundance (2014, background): “Later it was shown that a close association of krill with the inner shelf is specific to the Antarctic Peninsula, whereas in the Indian-Pacific sector, krill generally prevail offshore beyond the shelf break (Atkinson et al. 2008).”
• Krill, climate, and contrasting future scenarios for Arctic and Antarctic fisheries (2014, background): “…circumpolar krill population occurs, observations suggest that their abundance, recruitment success, and population structure already are changing with an overall decreasing trend since the 1970s, although there is also marked interannual variability (Murphy et al., 2007b; Atkinson et al., 2008).”
• Carbon fluxes and pelagic ecosystem dynamics near two western Antarctic Peninsula Adélie penguin colonies: an inverse model approach (2013, background): “This is supported by Atkinson et al. (2008), who pointed out that only 13% of the krill population can be found in waters populated by krill predators.”
• Variability and predictability of Antarctic krill swarm structure (2009, background): “The fact that more than 30% of the circumpolar population of krill is found in this sector of the Southern Ocean (Atkinson et al., 2008) makes it suited to a study of this type, since swarms are numerous and varied in structure.”
• Seasonal variation in body composition, metabolic activity, feeding, and growth of adult krill Euphausia superba in the Lazarev Sea (2010, background): “1) is the eastern part of a broad region of high krill abundance, which extends from the Antarctic Peninsula to the 2 Meyer et al.: Seasonal variation in krill physiology Greenwich Meridian (e.g. Marr 1962, Atkinson et al. 2008).”
• Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean (2014, background): “Altogether, euphausiids occupy a vast latitudinal range between latitude 40°S, down to 78°S (for the coastal E. crystallorophias), in relation with the structure of the SO organised in circumpolar fronts, currents and seasonal sea ice cover (Thorpe et al. 2007, Atkinson et al. 2008).”
