Euphausia pacifica, the North Pacific krill, is a euphausid that lives in the northern Pacific Ocean. [2] In Japan, E. pacifica is called isada krill or tsunonashi okiami (ツノナシオキアミ). It is found from Suruga Bay northwards, including all of the Sea of Japan and the south-western part of the Sea of Okhotsk.

Well-known species of the Euphausiidae of commercial krill fisheries include Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), Pacific krill (E. pacifica) and Northern krill (Meganyctiphanes norvegica). [7]

2017年2月28日 · The North Pacific Krill is an ocean-based crustacean that can grow up to 25mm in length (this is a bit of a stretch, however; most average around 16mm). The word Euphausia is Latin for ‘brightly shining’, and indeed, these small invertebrates are noted for what appears to be a bioluminescent characteristic throughout their species.

Krill is the near-exclusive food for giant blue whales, and seabirds like auklets and shearwaters. Commercially valuable salmon, rockfish, flatfish, sardines and squid thrive on krill. When abundant, animals migrate thousands of miles to feed on krill.

Krill can be found in all of the world’s oceans, but one species—Pacific krill (Euphausia pacifica)—is most common and abundant in the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and along the California coast. Pacific krill are strong vertical migrators, descending as far as 1,300 feet during the day and swarming at the surface at night.

E. pacifica has large amounts of 8-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (8-HEPE), which has physiological effects.

Only two species of krill are being commercially harvested to any significant degree and we will concentrate on the biology of these species - E. superba and E. pacifica - as it relates to these fisheries.
