Krill, or euphausiids, a group of immense importance in marineecosystems, comprises over 80 species, most of which areplanktonic. Krill are widespread with species to be found in allthe oceans of the world. Their numerical density in some regionsincreases their importance to marine ecosystems and has led tocommercially successful krill harvesting.
This comprehensive volume, thoroughly edited by Inigo Everson,well known for his work in this area, comprises chapters written byinternationally acknowledged experts. The contents include coverageof: sampling and distribution, population, aggregation,reproduction and the role of krill in the ecosystem. Furtherspecific chapters include krill harvesting, products and details ofmanagement in Japanese, Canadian and Southern Ocean waters. Drawingon the experience in each, the ecosystem approach to management isdiscussed in detail and how it might be applied more widely forexample in forage fisheries.
This most important volume draws together, for the first time, avast amount of vital information for all those involved in work onthese important marine organisms. Krill will be of great use tofisheries scientists, marine biologists and ecologists,oceanographers, zoologists and invertebrate biologists and allthose involved in the commercial harvesting, exploitation andmanagement of krill, world wide. Libraries in all aquatic andmarine research stations and universities where marine andfisheries sciences are studied and taught should have multiplecopies of this landmark publication on their shelves.
* * Contributions from internationally-recognised experts in thefield.
* Well-edited to provide an accessible and user-friendlybook.
* Krill are a key part of ocean ecosystems.
* Part of exciting new Blackwell Science Series.
