Abstract

Laboratory experiments were conducted on schools of Antarctic krill in the novel annular flume at Palmer Station, Antarctica, in November 2022. Using overhead camera along with stereophotogrammetry system the swimming trajectories of krill were recorded while altering flow and light levels in the tank. The purpose of the study is to understand how Antarctic krill schooling structure changes under environmental cues such as flow and light, with the hope that distribution of these important s...

We deployed on the R/V Laurence M. Gould to Palmer Station, Antarctica in October - December 2022. On the way, we collected krill using an Isaac-Kidd Midwater Trawl net at the following locations: 63°06.5′ S, 61°46.6′ W (on October 5th, 2022) and 64°37.9′ S, 62°14.5′ W (on October 6th, 2022). Krill were kept in two tanks with a continuous seawater supply on the boat until being transferred to holding tanks at the Station. Additional krill were collected from Wilhelmina Bay (64°42.0′ S, 62°16.6′ W) on November 12th by the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer, transported to Palmer Station, and added to the same holding tanks filled with filtered seawater (100 µm).
