Growth and longevity of krill during the first decade of pelagic whaling

Modeling studies of antarctic krill Euphausia superba survival during transport across the Scotia Sea

“…This maximum rate is in excess of observed summer krill growth rates, which range between 0.105 and 0.179 mm d -1 (Rosenberg et al 1986), as well as overall krill growth rates (Siegel & Kalinowski 1994) and maximum summer growth rates (Ross et al 2000). However, it is less than the krill growth rate of 0.33 mm d -1 estimated by Clarke & Morris (1983).…”

“…Growth and shrink rates for the 22 mm krill are bigger than those for the 2 mm krill, reflecting the higher metabolic rates of the larger animals. The simulated growth rates are within the range of observed growth rates, which are 0.105 to 0.179 mm d -1 (Rosenberg et al 1986) and 0.33 mm d -1 (Clarke & Morris 1983). …”

Oceanic circumpolar habitats of Antarctic krill

“…16a) . This is close to respective values of 0.11 mm d -1 and 0.06 to 1.2 mm d -1 from studies using the Instantaneous Growth Rate (IGR) method in the Indian-Atlantic sectors (Kawaguchi et al 2006) and the Antarctic Peninsula (Ross et al 2000), and to growth rates of field populations (Rosenberg et al 1986, Siegel & Nicol 2000.…”

Distribution and Biological Features of the African Armoured Searobin,<I> Peristedion Cataphractum</I> (Actinopterygii: Scorpaeniformes: Peristediidae), Off the Southern Coasts of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea)

“…The Shepherd's Length Composition Analysis (SLCA, Shepherd 1987; special VBGF) and the projection matrix method (PROJMAT, Rosenberg et al 1986, both special and seasonal VBGF) were implemented starting from two seed values sets reflecting the range of values derived by literature, the MPA results and the average of the L max intervals derived in the present contribute.…”
