18 Krill Patchiness in 3-Dimensions

19 Major Conclusions - Penguins correlated with presence of krill, but not necessarily - Penguins correlated with presence of krill, but not necessarily found in areas of highest krill abundance. found in areas of highest krill abundance. - Contrary to expectations, penguin surface distribution - Contrary to expectations, penguin surface distribution correlated better with krill distribution between 30 – 50m correlated better with krill distribution between 30 – 50m than with krill distribution between surface – 30m. than with krill distribution between surface – 30m.
