Australia’s Contribution to Antarctic Climate Science

Australia’s involvement in CCAMLR is long dated, with CCAMLR’ head office located in Tasmania. Australia’s contribution to Antarctic climate science is well known and highly respected. This 2008 report was edited by D. Michael Stoddart from the Australian Antarctic Division. It shows that Australia has played a significant role in many aspects of high-latitude climate …

Enzymatic Synthesis of Phenolic Lipids from Krill Oil in Solvent-Free Media and their Micro-encapsulation

The “solvent-free krill oil” has become the target for all krill oil manufacturers since Tharos’  first IP in 2009.  Krill oils, except Tharos’, are manufactured using solvents in any stage of their process. And the market has slowly come up rejecting that fact. This is Sara Aziz 2013 thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate …

Evaluation of the Biological Toxicity of Fluorine in Antarctic krill

Although this research was published March 2014 in Advances in Polar Science, it is a very actual matter that impacts krill meal and krill oil sales, sustained by Tharos’ market research. Fluorine (F) toxicity is a matter of real concern. This research was made using rats with different dietary regimens: A control group, a krill …

Marine phospholipids—a dietary approach to tumor-associated weight loss

  Goals of work Advanced tumor disease very often evokes excessive loss of body weight. Among others, fish oil or marine fatty acid ethyl esters were investigated for treatment of cancer cachexia with controversial results. In this study, a new formulation of marine fatty acids was investigated, marine phospholipids, with more than 50% of phospholipid-bound fatty …

Biomass Measures Assessment of Antarctic Krill

Good day Friends and Colleagues. The Antarctic Marine Living Resources program of the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center’s Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division has been conducing research surveys of Antarctic krill (Euphausa superba) around the Antarctic peninsula since the late 1980s. The surveys expanded during this period from a grid of net tows around Elephant Island …

Antarctic Food Web

  Hello colleges and friends. A good reminder for all of us involved in the South Antarctic krill fishery, how important is krill on the fragile Antarctic Food WEB. Please see this very short version Antarctic Food Web_vF
