	Antarctic Wildlife Facing Food Shortages
		The vanishing ice in the winter has resulted in an 80 percent drop in the number of Antarctic krill, a shrimp-like crustacean that is a major source of food for animals in the region.
		Krill feed on algae under the ice sheet in the ocean but warmer temperatures over the last 50 years have meant there is less ice and fewer krill.
		Krill, which measure about 6 cm in length and swim in swarms, are important in the food chain.

	Krill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The dominant krill in the southern polar oceans is the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), which is up to 2.3 inches (6 cm) long and weighs about 0.035 ounces (1 g).
		Antarctic Krill is considered to be a keystone species, an organism upon which very many Antarctic predators depend.
		Krill spend their days in the dark depths of the ocean (about 320 feet = 100 m deep), safe from their major predators (like baleen whales and sea birds).

	AWI: Ice-Tour - Krill
		Krill occurs in groups or large swarms and occupies a niche similar to that of the herring in the North Atlantic, since large schools of pelagic fish are absent.
		Apart from frequenting the sea ice to feed, krill in particular juveniles, seek protection from predators in the many nooks and crannies formed by the deformed sea ice floes.
		The biomass of Antarctic krill is considered to be larger than that of the earth's human population and krill swarms can occupy an area equivalent to that of the Andorras.

	Time to Krill? crucial antarctic ecosystem threatened
		Antarctic krill are mainly herbivorous feeding on the phytoplankton (microscopic suspended plants) of the Southern Ocean but planktonic animals (zooplankton) may also form a part of their diet.
		It is the aggregating nature of krill that has enabled the baleen whales to evolve their feeding habits; if krill were any less dense, great whales would not be able to filter enough water to strain out sufficient prey, and their great size attests to the abundance of krill.
		Although the fishery for Antarctic krill is not turning out to be the cornucopia that many had imagined, it is also not turning out to be the environmental scourge that it had the potential to be; in fact, it may end up being the agent for the restoration of the Antarctic ecosystem.

	Krill decline threatens Antarctic wildlife. 04/11/2004. ABC News Online
		Antarctic krill, eaten by whales, penguins, fish and other animals, have declined drastically since the 1970s and this could threaten the Antarctic wildlife, according to a study to be published today.
		The densities of krill have dropped by about 80 per cent since 1976, and the most likely explanation for the fall is a dramatic decline in sea ice.
		Krill are tiny shrimp-like creatures that grow up to a length of six centimetres and live for five to six years.

	Antarctic Krill: history and prospects
		So the main achievement ATLANTNIRO investigations of krill and Antarctic ecosystem in a whole could be considered the creation of a scientific and prognostic base of a krill's fishery.
		In 1991 at the 10th session was adopted the first measure on krill's resources preservation and was established a precautionary limit 1,5 million tonnes of world catching in South Atlantic sector during from 1st July to 30th of June of the next year.
		Russian prospects for the krill's fishery renew nwdays under arising demand on a world's and internal markets are not very high due to losing or becoming old-fashioned of special fleet, catching instruments, technologies and equipment.

	Annual Report 2002 - Dynamics of Overwintering Antarctic Krill Populations (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Adult krill constitute a large fraction of the zooplankton biomass in key areas and often occur in very large numbers massed in intense patches and swarms ranging in size from a few tens of square meters to tens of square kilometers.
		During the relatively ice-free fall cruise, krill adults and larvae were distributed principally in the upper 200 meters (660 feet) of the water column.
		Large numbers of larval krill, however, were observed only in regions where the ice undersurface was highly irregular as a result of the ridging and down thrusting caused by ice sheet collision and compaction during violent winter storms.

		Antarctic krill like this specimen are shrimplike creatures crucial to the diet of local marine mammals.

		The Antarctic study comes as Arctic researchers present their findings that the region is warming almost twice as fast as the rest of the planet due to a buildup of heat-trapping gases.

		In a study that may demystify parts of the Antarctic food web, Andrew Brierley and colleagues from the British Antarctic Survey report in the March 8 issue of Science that krill, which are surface-dwelling, shrimp-like creatures, are concentrated under Antarctic sea ice in a band just south of the line between open water and ice.
		The Antarctic krill distribution patterns the submarine discovered confirm that the most popular whale hangouts along the sea-ice edge are places with the highest concentrations of krill, and highlight the sea-ice edge as important terrain for Antarctic ocean dwellers.
		Using this information, Brierley and colleagues found that krill were five times more abundant within a thick band as large as thirteen kilometers under the sea ice than in the open ocean.
