The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) offers a forum for the 100 international participants to guide research directions, promote collaboration, improve understanding of krill biology and ecology, and facilitate information exchange. The scientific workshop, supported by WWF, aims to address one of the major issues in current understanding of Antarctic krill ecology: How the krill-based food web changes over time. What do indices of krill, derived from variety sampling methods including predators and the krill fishery itself, tell us about change in the amounts and distribution of krill?
