Article Synopsis
- Antarctic krill play a crucial role in the Southern Ocean ecosystem, serving as a key species in the food web and supporting a commercial fishery.
- Traditional methods like acoustic surveys and net sampling have provided much of the knowledge about krill, but these methods have limitations in studying krill behavior, especially during the autumn-winter seasons.
- Researchers utilized seasonal video observations from a profiling camera system to uncover previously hidden details about krill's vertical distribution, density, and individual behaviors.
Background: Cytology smears and cytospin preparations are increasingly being used for molecular testing. With these limited samples, optimizing tissue extraction to maximize the DNA yield is, therefore, critical. This study examined 2 common methods of tissue extraction and compared DNA yields from different types of glass slides.
