The question, scope, and sources behind this Registry record.
Antarctic krill surveys have estimated hundreds of millions of tonnes of standing biomass across the Southern Ocean.
Track the largest published estimate of standing biomass for a wild animal population under a defined survey area and year.
Biomass records combine acoustic surveys, biological sampling, spatial models, and uncertainty intervals. The value changes with survey year and should be interpreted as an estimate of a population stock, not a literal census.
The biomass and abundance of Antarctic krill — Largest estimated wild animal population biomassChange a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.

Only accepted Claims matching the current specification contribute to the displayed bounds. Strict inequalities remain open; contradictory Claims require editorial review.
