Abstract

The importance of krill as a major secondary producer in Antarctic waters and the increasing interest in its commercial exploitation make it timely to review what is known about the distribution of the animal and the hydrographic regime that partially controls that distribution. This review is intended for both the biologist and the oceanographer and, because of this, includes some literature citations and illustrations not necessarily familiar to researchers in both fields. With an emphasis on krill research, the international program, Biological Investigation of Marine Antarctic Systems and Stocks (BIOMASS), has recently conducted research expeditions to the Antarctic regions which include physical oceanographic studies in their field programs. The published results of these studies are often not known to the physical oceano- graphic community, having been published in biological and fisheries research journals. Other major research programs are conducted by the Russians and Japanese in combination with their commercial krill-fisheries operations and have produced a substantial body of data which is generally not known or used by the (Western) physical oceanographer, partly because of the difficulty of accessing the literature (although many of the krill papers are now published in English).
