Predation on Northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegica Sars).

摘要: We consider predation as a function of prey concentration with focus on how this interaction is influenced by biological-physical interactions, and wider oceanographic processes. In particular, we examine the anti-predation behaviour Northern krill interacts ocean-circulation process to influence its vulnerability predation. describe three-dimensional (3D) circulation in situ light levels modulate predator-prey interactions from small large scales, illustrate stability system sometimes perturbed consequence. predators include wide range species pelagic benthic strata, well birds. Many exhibit adaptations their feeding strategy take advantage dynamic physical-biological processes that determine distribution, krill. Among them, baleen whales appear have developed particularly efficient strategies. A literature search indicates are major contributor ecosystem throughout distributional range, key respect flow energy upper trophic levels. list future research needed fill gaps our understanding provided.
