KRILLBASE: A circumpolar database of Antarctic krill and salp numerical densities, 1926-2016

We are grateful to Peter Rothery for the original standardisation of the krill density data. D. K. Steinberg acknowledges the US National Science Foundation (grant PLR-1440435). B. A. Krafft was supported by the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal affairs, the Institute of Marine Research, the University of Bergen, the Norwegian Antarctic Research Expeditions (NARE), the Norwegian Research Council, Statoil Hydro and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. In the last 5 years the funding to update the database was via the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystem Cooperative Research Centre (for R. C. Subramaniam) and the UK Natural Environment Research Council and Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs grant NE/L003279/1, Marine Ecosystems Research Program (for Angus Atkinson). After this the final production of the database and creation of this data paper was funded by the World Wildlife Fund.
