The objectives of the studies include: (1) description of the population structure and biological characteristic of krill collected throughout the AMLR study area and over the duration of the cruise; and (2) interpretation and correlation of krill data with information on phytoplankton biomass, primary production, circulation pattern, and water mass boundaries.
