Growth and moulting in Northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegica Sars).
Moulting and growth as a key aspect of the life-history of crustaceans has been reviewed here for Meganyctiphanes norvegica. Moulting is a cyclical process with relatively constrained, uniform phases that have been well documented. The crustacean moult cycle has a large influence on growth-rates, reproduction and metabolism. Moult and growth are under hormonal control with further environmental...
متن کاملDistribution, maturity and population structure of Meganyctiphanes norvegica and Thysanoessa inermis around Iceland in spring
This study aims to explain the distribution, maturity and population structure of Meganyctiphanes norvegica and Thysanoessa inermis in springtime in relation to main hydrographic regions around Iceland: Atlantic in the southwest, Atlantic-Arctic mixture in the north and Arctic in the east. Krill were collected 14-29 May 2013 using a macrozooplankton trawl. Biomass of both species combined was s...
متن کاملEuphausiid visual pigments. The rhodopsins of Euphausia superba and Meganyctiphanes norvegica (Crustacea, Euphausiacea)
The rhabdoms of Euphausia superba contain one digitonin-extractable rhodopsin, lambda max 485 nm. The rhodopsin undergoes unusual pH-dependent spectral changes: above neutrality, the absorbance decreases progressively at 485 nm and rises near 370 nm. This change is reversible and appears to reflect an equilibrium between a protonated and an unprotonated form of the rhodopsin Schiff-base linkage...
متن کاملOn the timing of moulting processes in reproductively active Northern krill Meganyctiphanes norvegica
The interactions between moult phasing, growth and environmental cues in Northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegica) were examined through analysing populations at seasonal, weekly, and daily timescales. The analyses were carried out on resident populations of krill found in three different neritic locations that experience similar environmental signals (the Clyde Sea, Scotland; the Kattegat, De...
متن کاملGenetic differentiation and local temporal stability of population structure in the euphausiid Meganyctiphanes norvegica
Meganyctiphanes norvegica (M. Sars 1856), the northern krill, is the largest and most abundant euphausiid species in the northern hemisphere, where it represents a key component of many pelagic communities. Although planktonic, krill could be considered a nektonic organism, as it is capable of active movements. This behaviour may be adaptive, because it allows these organisms to maintain their ...
