Friedlaender studyied the hunting behavior of hump back whales in relation to catches of krill in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Increasing our knowledge of the whale’s hunting patterns safeguards a sustainable ecosystem where the whale’s food provisions remains unharmed.

Lowther explored how brush tail penguins rely on krill swarms in order to successfully raise and fledge chicks during their breeding seasons. The research included placing GPS-tags on brush tail penguins and fur seals
to detect overlap in the area they hunt for food during the breeding season of penguins. The project found that fur seals swim further than expected, causing less concentrated pressure on krill as a food source.

Kilada aimed to develop a methodology to determine the age of Antarctic Krill. Knowing the age of krill gives better estimates for the recruitment and biomass of the species, and thus help secure the sustainability of the Antarctic krill.

Study in the South Orkney Island region focusing on the movement and behavior of krill swarms. Understanding and predicting how krill swarms moves is essential to better estimate the biomass of Antarctic krill in area 48.

Study focusing on krill movement in a different region than the project above (the Northern Antarctic Peninsula, Scotia Sea and South Georgia), and thus making the two research projects complementary.
