—Part of series of reports on an extensive planktonic data series in the South Atlantic, this describes the taxonomy and distribution of euphausiids in the Antarctic and Southwestern Atlantic. Contains good illustrations of larval developmental stages.

—This is not a re-write of the Mauchline and Fischer (1969) work but simply contains additional information.

Mauchline J., Fisher L.R. 1969. The biology of euphausiids. Advances Mar. Biol., 7:1-454.
—A fairly comprehensive review on the biology, ecology, behaviour and biochemistry of euphausiids. It also contains some useful synonymies and a thorough bibliography. Although it is 30 years old, it is still a very useful monograph. The above two articles could be considered the core texts of euphausiid biology.

—Everything you ever wanted to know about Euphausia superba. This volume clearly demonstrates what is known about a single species of euphausiid and should stand as a benchmark for many years to come. A useful source of references.

—A typical paper illustrating the good visualisation of euphausiids by acoustic techniques. The ADCP also allows the instantaneous advective environment to be superimposed on distribution patterns.
