DESCRIPTION:Antarctic krill\, a small yet long-lived crustacean\, occupies
  a vital role in the Southern Ocean ecosystem.  It forms a key prey item o
 f many of the marine higher predators\, particularly in the Scotia Sea in 
 the Southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean.  Krill is found in a 
 patchy distribution throughout the Southern Ocean\, with strong links to b
 oth the advective flow of the ocean and to the sea ice environment.  In th
 is talk I will give an overview of the research that is taking place at th
 e British Antarctic Survey to determine the distribution of krill\, with r
 esults from field studies and model analyses.\n\n*Key references*:\n\nMurp
