The Curious Life of Krill : A Conservation Story from the Bottom of the World Hardback
by Stephen Nicol
Hardback
Description
An eminent krill scientist takes us on a journey through the dark, icy world of krill. Krill. It’s a familiar word that conjures oceans, whales, and swimming crustaceans.
Scientists say they are one of most abundant animals on the planet.
But few can accurately describe krill or explain their ecological importance.
Eminent krill scientist Stephen Nicol wants us to know more about these enigmatic creatures and how we can protect them as Antarctic ice melts.
This engaging account takes us to the Southern Ocean to learn firsthand the difficulties and rewards of studying krill in their habitat.
From his early education about the sex lives of krill in the Bay of Fundy to a krill tattoo gone awry, Nicol uses humor and personal stories to bring the biology and beauty of krill to life.
