A major aim of this review is to determine which physiological functions are adopted by
adults and larvae to survive the winter season with low food supply and their relative …

Plastic debris has been identified as a potential threat to Antarctic marine ecosystems,
however, the impact of nanoplastics (< 1 μm) is currently unexplored. Antarctic krill …

Several new approaches for measuring zooplankton growth and production rates have been
developed since the publication of the ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the …

Antarctic krill play an important role in biogeochemical cycles and can potentially generate
high-particulate organic carbon (POC) fluxes to the deep ocean. They also have an unusual …

The development of the type II clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
(CRISPR) system has resulted in the revolution of genetic engineering, and this technology …

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of the widely used anti-depressant fluoxetine
on behaviour (locomotion), moulting, neuromuscular transmission, energy production and …

Chitin metabolism is of high relevance for shrimp growth because it has to be synthesized
and cleaved in each molt. We studied chitin synthase and chitinase mRNAs from whiteleg …

Molting is a necessary developmental process in crustaceans, and is holistically regulated
by a range of hormones and associated genes. In order to investigate physiological changes …

The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), an ectoparasitic copepod of salmonid fish, is
a major threat to aquaculture in Norway, Ireland, Scotland and Canada. Due to rise in …

The crustaceans constitute one of the oldest arthropod taxa, from which insects later evolved
(Giribet et al., Nature 413: 157–161, 2001; Regier et al., Nature 463: 1079–U1098, 2010; …
