A team of scientists have been using the colour of seawater to help count tiny Antarctic sea creatures from miles above. They ...

These tiny creatures may be no bigger than your little finger, but scientists plan to start counting them from space. Knowing ...

Scientists say subtle differences in the colour of seawater will enable them to count tiny - but critically important - ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 59, No. 1 (2014), pp. 17-36 (20 pages) Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) were sampled in contrasting habitats: a seasonally ice-covered deep ocean (Lazarev Sea), ice ...

UK scientists plan to monitor krill from space as species threatened by warming - The researchers hope to analyse where ...

Krill are known to be sensitive to sea temperature, especially in the areas where they grow as adults. This has prompted scientists to try to understand how they might respond to the effects of ...

It took a dangerous turn, prompting the Sea Shepherd crew to manoeuvre swiftly preventing a collision. More than a dozen supertrawlers are licensed to fish for krill, a tiny crustacean and key ...

But the crustacean’s future, and that of its predators, by extension, are increasingly in jeopardy due to climate change and a growing commercial krill fishery. Rising air and sea temperatures ...

If you liked this story, share it with other people. Nearly all of Antarctica’s iconic wildlife, from penguins to seals and whales, depend on krill, tiny crustaceans that make up the base of the ...

Antarctic krill are especially vulnerable to these environmental stressors due to their close association with sea ice, a known area where plastic accumulates and the more rapid ocean ...
