Antarctic krill: how did a paperclip-sized crustacean cause a diplomatic row – and why are they so important? | Focusing on Wildlife Antarctic krill are small, shrimp-like marine crustaceans (Euphausia superba). They feed on plankton and are the main food source for larger marine animals.

Tell the MSC to stop greenwashing krill Penguins and whales need it to survive

Skriv på/Pls sign!

"The data suggests that in 2025, Aker QRILL took enough krill to feed 20 million penguins. This cannot be called sustainable."

Whales go to Antarctica to get fat. Humans are taking their food First it was Whale Wars, now it’s krill wars. The groups that took on Japanese whaling in Antarctica now have a new industry in their sights.

Every year there are new and bigger fishing vessels sucking up Antarctic #krill – the addition of a new Chinese super-trawler this year brought the total fleet to 15 – and better technology to locate the krill swarms. www.theage.com.au/environment/...

Antarctic krill sustainability label questioned - news The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) recently released a draft report for its fourth recertification of krill fishing in Antarctica by Aker QRILL Company. The certification would allow Aker to put an MSC label on its products that tells consumers the krill came from a sustainable well-managed fishery. However, the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC), a U.S.-based advocacy group, issued a formal objection to that determination, citing concerns about overfishing of a critical resource in a sensitive ecosystem. “Everything that lives in Antarctica either eats krill or eats something that eats krill,” Holly Parker Curry, ASOC’s marine protected areas campaign director, told Mongabay in a video call. It’s the base of the food chain but krill biomass has declined by 70-80% in parts of the Southern Ocean since the 1970s. That’s roughly when people started harvesting the tiny crustaceans for aquaculture fish food and dietary supplements for people. Climate change and shrunken sea ice are also contributing the dramatic drop in krill populations; krill depend on sea ice for part of their life cycle. In its said, “Antarctic krill is one of the best managed species in the world … [and] the total catch is limited to below 1% of...

World's largest krill harvester at centre of row over 'blue tick' sustainability label Environmental groups have objected to the recommendation of a “blue tick” sustainability label being awarded to a Norwegian krill fishing giant, amid concerns over concentrated fishing pressure and dramatic climate-driven effects on the Antarctic’s fragile ecosystem. Norway’s Aker QRILL, the world’s largest harvester of krill, a tiny crustacean and keystone of Antarctica’s fragile ecosystem, and its sister company, Aker BioMarine, produce feed additives for aquaculture and dietary supplements for pets and humans. Their krill products have carried the “blue tick” label operated by fishery certification scheme, the not-for-profit Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), since 2010. Aker is undergoing a fresh evaluation of its eligibility of the blue tick scheme by a third party assessor. Environmentalists say that since Aker was last certified as meeting MSC’s standard for a “sustainable and well managed” fishery in 2020, management of the entire Antarctic krill fishery has worsened, due to lapsed conservation measures. Holly Curry, marine protected areas campaign director at the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (Asoc), a conservation charity, said: “The Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition opposes the recommendation to recertify the Antarctic krill fishery.” Rhona Kent, polar oceans programme manager at WWF-UK said: “To protect this extraordinary species and wider ecosystem, WWF...

I never knew there were so many krill, and they're not as tiny as I thought! Surprisingly pretty, but those bug legs are a no-go for me... #FunFacts #AnimalFunFacts #AnimalFacts #thisandthatanimalsgonewild #trending #krill #ocean #Oceananimals #Sealife
