Abstract
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a key
species in Antarctic marine ecosystems, as well as an
important species in the Southern Ocean fishery. Here, we
provide the first detailed photographic documentation of
embryonic and larval development of Antarctic krill over a
5-month developmental period under controlled laboratory
conditions. Developing embryos and larvae were photographed
every 3 h and every 5 days, respectively. Our
results indicated a developmental time of approximately
6 days for embryos and 138 days for larvae (0.5 C). This
study provided baseline biometry information for future
investigations of Antarctic krill development under
changing environmental conditions.
