Post by aukepalmhof » Tue Nov 12, 2019 6:56 pm

On this stamp of 1985 by the French Southern Antarctic Territory in the right top you see what looks like a fish factory vessel, on the left is given SIBEX which was the Second International Biomass expedition in the Antarctic waters from 22 December 1984 till 03 February 1985 with the polar vessel NELLA DAN, but she is not depicted on the stamp.

On the stamp are otherwise visible a mix from whales and krill.

Wikipedia gives more on the krill fishery in the Antarctic waters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krill_fishery
