Abstract

Physiological observations of Euphausia pacifica sampled in Puget Sound, WA aboard R/V Clifford A. Barnes during cruises CB1073 and CB1078 in 2017.

Krill were collected from surface waters (upper 50 m) at each sampling station during the nighttime using a 60-cm diameter Bongo frame equipped with black 335-μm mesh nets and non-filtering cod ends towed for <10 min at 2-3 kts. Healthy female E. pacifica (obvious ovary) were identified under a microscope, kept chilled (10-14 °C) at all times, and were gently transferred using broad spoons to prevent damage.
