DESCRIPTION:Antarctic krill\, a small yet long-lived crustacea
 n\, occupies a vital role in the Southern Ocean ec
 osystem.  It forms a key prey item of many of the 
 marine higher predators\, particularly in the Scot
 ia Sea in the Southwest Atlantic sector of the Sou
 thern Ocean.  Krill is found in a patchy distribut
 ion throughout the Southern Ocean\, with strong li
 nks to both the advective flow of the ocean and to
  the sea ice environment.  In this talk I will giv
 e an overview of the research that is taking place
  at the British Antarctic Survey to determine the 
 distribution of krill\, with results from field st
 udies and model analyses.\n\n*Key references*:\n\n
