TY - JOUR AU - Clark Melody S, Thorne Michael A. S. PY - 2011// TI - Antarctic krill 454 pyrosequencing reveals chaperone and stress transcriptome. JO - PloS one SP - e15919 -e15919 VL - 6 IS - 1 N2 - The Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is a keystone species in the Antarctic food chain. Not only is it a significant grazer of phytoplankton, but it is also a major food item for charismatic megafauna such as whales and seals and an important Southern Ocean fisheries crop. Ecological data suggest that this species is being affected by climate change and this will have considerable consequences for the balance of the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Hence, understanding how this organism functions is a priority area and will provide fundamental data for life history studies, energy budget calculations and food web models.
