    Abstract

    Scheme of International Scientific Observation Scientific Observer’s Manual for Krill Fisheries provides illustrations and images for the Observers to follow for the measurements and sexing krill on board.

    Here I present a guide to sexing Antarctic krill with pictures, which provides detailed explanations and high-resolution images of sexual organs that assist observers’ daily tasks onboard fishing vessels.
