Resumen:
|
There are currently at least six commercial fisheries harvesting six different species of euphausiids, or krill. Most of these fiheries have been operating for over 20 years but there is very little generally available information on these fisheries other than that for Antarctic krill. In this report we summarize information from a number of sources on the fisheries for, and relevant biology of, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), North Pacific krill (Euphausia pacifica) which is fished off Japan and off western Canada Euphausia nana fished off the coast of Japan, Thysanoessa inermis fished off the coast of Japan and off the eastern Canada and Thysanoessa raschii and Meganycthphanes norvegica fished.
