Fatty acids (FA) have been used as diet biomarkers. They have proven to be a valuable method of defining food web relationships, trophic positioning, and the dietary behaviors of marine species. The endemic krill species of the Humboldt Current System

Analysis of zooplankton samples from 53 stations obtained around Peninsula Mejillones (Northern Chile), from two strata: 0-50 m and 150-200 m, during active upwelling in December 1996, allowed the study of horizontal and vertical distribution of Euphausia

Seasonal and inter-annual variability in population abundance, biomass, and somatic and molt production of the Humboldt Current krill, Euphausia mucronata, were studied during a monthly time series (August 2002-June 2007) at Station 18 (36º 30’ S; 73º
