About
• Core Objectives: KrillBIS combines net-based tows and hydro-acoustic survey methods to track natural and climate-induced fluctuations in krill stocks. This long-term dataset aims to feed into predictive ecosystem models under different climate scenarios.
• Ecosystem-Based Management: Work under KrillBIS emphasises transitioning fisheries management away from simply tracking predators. Instead, it promotes incorporating specific krill life-history metrics, such as seasonal distribution patterns, larval development, and physiological adaptability to rising water temperatures, into harvest regulations
