The Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, is a major component of                 the Southern Ocean ecosystem, yet little is known about the                     physiological ecology of this species.  This project will examine               the degree and consequences of food limitation in the adults and                larvae.  The response of adults and larvae to long periods of                   starvation are different; the adults can survive periods of                     starvation of over a year, whereas the larvae only survive a few                months.  Experiments will focus on the effect of different food                 levels on development and growth.  A seasonal energy budget will                be constructed from data gathered on rates of ingestion, fecal                  pellet production, growth, molting, reproduction and metabolism.                This project will combine laboratory and shipboard measurements                 to determine the energetics of this important member of the                     Antarctic marine community.
