NetWatch (selection)   Volume 290, Number 5496, Issue of 24 November 2000 ©2000 by The American Association for the Advancement of Science. .............   IMAGES: Krill Stuff This critter is the classic antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, the 55- millimeter-long copepod that whales trek south from the tropics to feast on. At this krill site,* you can zoom in on details such as the delicately ribbed plankton filter and compound eyes of krill and another specimen, a species of amphipod. The shrimplike creatures were photographed aboard an ice-breaking research vessel journeying through the Southern Ocean. To see more antarctic sea life, check out this field guide describing a whole menagerie of cold-loving animals and plants, from sponges to jellyfish to diatoms. Also don't miss a professional photographer's amazing shots of the eerie, blue-green world below the frozen sea surface. * krill.rutgers.edu scilib.ucsd.edu/sio/nsf/fguide/index.html ............ ............

There was apparently a communication error, krill is of course not a copepod, only related to these crustaceans.
