  1. The main outputs of the PEKRIS model are the abundance of post-larvae krill concerning the water body of the modeled domain (n/1000 m3), the mean length of post-larvae krill individuals present, the number of eggs released per year related to the modeled water body (n/1000 m3) and, the maximum abundance of salps during the year related to the modeled water body (n/1000 m3)
