  Krill - the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is aneuphausiid (Arthropoda /Crustacea / Malacostraca /Euphausiacea) [1].
Krill live in largeschools (swarms) and convert the primary production directly into a relatively large animal [2][3]: they grow to a length of 6 cm, weigh 2 grammes, andlive probably for 6 years.

 Krill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These small crustaceans are important organisms of the zooplankton, particularly as food for baleen whales, mantas, whale sharks, Crabeater seals and other seals, and a few seabird species that feed almost exclusively on them.

It is an euphausiid (Arthropoda / Crustacea / Malacostraca / Euphausiacea) http://www.biosis.org.uk/zrdocs/zoolinfo/grp_crus.htm#Euphausiacea.
Krill is also called light-shrimp because it can produce a yellow green light with light-organs at the eyes and base of the swimming legs (bioluminescence).

 NRC Research Press: Canadian Journal of Zoology
The opening of the eight thoracic segments (TS) occurs in Euphausiacea and Decapoda only, and is done in three steps (TS1; TS1–TS3 or TS1–TS4; TS1–TS8).
Thus, in the larvae of Euphausiacea and Decapoda, the most evolved taxa, the progressive insertion of the carapace corresponds to the carapace locations in the adults of the most ancient taxa, i.e., Mysidacea.
The location of the internal musculature of the mandibles, which is known for certain to characterize the different parts of the arthropodial segment, and their development, shows that the gnathal part of each mandible is prolonged by a pleural part and half the residual tergite of the mandibular segment.

 krill --  Encyclopædia Britannica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
any member of the crustacean suborder Euphausiacea or of the genus Euphausia within that suborder.
The Euphausiacea are shrimplike marine animals that are pelagic in habit (i.e., they live in the open sea).
The name is sometimes also used to refer to Euphausia superba, a single species.

 The Regional Impacts of Climate Change
Although these figures do not include catches made by other nations plying the region's seas, they provide a clear idea of the economic importance of the oceans in Latin America.
Furthermore, krill-a pelagic member of the crustacean suborder Euphausiacea-is of great importance in the trophic chain of the oceans (as food for various fish, birds, and whales, particularly blue whales and finback whales).
From January to April, swarms of krill (Euphausiacea superba) appear in the Antarctic Ocean and, because of the predominant sea currents, move northward into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans surrounding South America.
