This paper introduces a multi-species predator-prey model of whales, seals and krill in the Antarctic that is currently in development, and illustrates some example results that are obtained from the model. Due to limited time, sensitivities of the output of the model to various input parameter values and functional response forms have not yet been investigated, and are planned for future work. Preliminary results show the possible role of predator-prey interactions in influencing the dynamics of the Antarctic species considered in the model.
