Description: Southern Ocean: larval krill growth studies, 2001-2002
Acquisition description:

Using SCUBA techniques allowed us to collect larval krill as close as possible to their in situ condition. Larval krill were collected for time-based experimentation at the dive hole, for shipboard experiments and preserved for later analysis. Samples of the micro-zooplankton community were sampled with suction samplers to gain a better understanding of food available to the larvae relative to their distribution under the ice. In addition, at one of the process stations we were able to deploy drift nets through the dive holes to compare day/night differences in the zooplankton community at depths of 1 m and 10 m below the ice-water interface.
