One of the reasons for the increasing interst in many countries during the last 25 years in the southern ocean around the Antarctic is the presence of major living resources. The most important Antarctic marine food resources are the krill and some fish species. These resources can provide large quantities of animal protein needed in future years to feed the quickly increasing human population.

The krill (Euphausia superba), a euphausiid crustacean reaching a maximum body length of about 6 cm, is widely distributed in the cold upper water layers, mostly between the surface and 200 m depth, of the Antarctic ocean (Figs. 1 and 2).
