Consideration of these features and the effects of climate change on krill dynamics are critical to managing both krill harvests and the recovery of baleen whales in the Southern Ocean.

Not exact matches

The discovery of the krill and whale «super-aggregations» sheds light on an important but overlooked foraging ground for the endangered humpbacks — one that may be threatened by the region's rapidly changing climate.

Furthermore, only recently have researchers been able to consider both the ecological relationships among krill predators (e.g., niche overlap) and the potential effects of climate change on those relationships, specifically as they relate to the availability of their krill prey [14].

Failure to account for the effects of climate change on these dynamics will undermine our ability to understand changes in the standing biomass of Antarctic krill and also to predict the recovery of whale populations from a century of mismanagement and overexploitation [37].

Effects of harvest and climate change on polar marine ecosystems: case studies from the Antarctic Peninsula and Hudson Bay C Hoover — 2012 — circle.ubc.ca... Future simulations of the Antarctic Peninsula identify large reductions in ecosystem biomass of all species due changes in environmental conditions and an overall reduction in krill, with minimal ecosystem impacts from harvest.

In the future, climate change could hurt krill numbers because they have a complex life cycle that is dependent on stable ocean conditions, according to a recent study.

Krill are on the front lines of climate change — melting sea ice is destroying their habitat, and ocean acidification could further harm them.
