First measurements of euphausiid growth rates in the northern Humboldt Current (23ºS)

One hundred and five juveniles and adults of Euphausia mucronata were incubated in order to estimate their daily growth rates (DGR) using the standard instantaneous growth rate method. From 77 krill that survived after 2 days of incubation under laboratory conditions, 70 individuals molted (35.1% ma...
