krill on mainpage in Danmark today

Hi Uwe! I better point out that my edits on Antarctic krill as a matter of fact was just of the menial copyedit kind. I am really not very knowledgeable about oceanography. I must say that I can't find Antarctic krill on da:Forside; however, I see that the article will be on the main page tomorrow. Congratulations on that one, the Antarctic krills and you sure deserve it!

Moreover, I (a Swede) will most likely make many silly mistakes if I try to translate to Norwegian, even if I read it fluently. With caution, I might be able to help out with a paragraph or two, though. I'll see what time I'll get to spare.

Amphipod from Antarctica 14 supports Featured Picture

transparent head of Antarctic Krill with large facetted eyes, nerves running into the antennae, filtering basket, mouth, gastric mill, gut, chromatophores

Transparent larvae of Atlantic Herring length 38 mm, visible are the otoliths, the gut, the silvery swimbladder and the heart.

Transparent leptocephalus larvae of an eel - visible is the brain, the myomers. The gut is only at the ventral side a thin line of cells, not functioning - nobody knows how they get energy for growth and their incredibly long migrations

My most beloved server, online from the first days of the WEB from my NeXT computer (donated from d'ART) ecoSCOPE.com - the first image is in 3D - click on "teacher", "virtual microscope" or "space" and land directly under the iceberg in Antarctica.

I am from Scandinavian roots, in love with Norge, live sometimes in the USA.
