Body length and maturity stage measurements of Antarctic krill caught during the South Orkneys science cruise JR15004 (2016)
The dataset contains body length and maturity stage measurements of Antarctic krill caught from multiple RMT8 hauls conducted as part of science cruise JR15004 to the South Orkneys in January and February 2016. The measurement followed standard protocols as detailed in Morris et al 1988 and Makarov and Denys 1980. All measurements were made on a random subset of approximately 100-200 individuals per haul. The datasets include measurements made from a total of 11 hauls. The measurements were all made by a single analyst.
The work was carried out as part of NERC Antarctic Logistics and Infrastructure Science funding for Southern Ocean Ecosystems.

All body length measurements were rounded down to the nearest mm. All were performed by a single analyst (Ryan Saunders) to minimise inter-analyst error and bias.
Net hauls cover a variable distance of between 0.1 and 1 nautical mile.
