A single Antarctic krill is about the size of your pinky finger. But with an estimated population of more than 700 trillion in the Southern Ocean, the tiny crustacean’s collective impact across ...
As Antarctic krill face unprecedented challenges in the Southern Ocean, a new project has been launched to better understand these important invertebrates. Rising temperatures are putting the ...
Antarctic krill sequester similar amounts of carbon to key coastal blue carbon habitats. Nature Communications , 2024; 15 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-52135-6 Cite This Page : ...
Antarctic krill are one of the most abundant species in the world in terms of biomass, but scientists and conservationists are concerned about the future of the species due to overfishing, climate ...

At Steinberg’s lab, researchers are examining how warming oceans — Antarctic krill need water colder than 4 degrees Celsius (39 Fahrenheit) to survive — are altering krill’s life cycle.
The new study shows that Antarctic krill lock at least 20 million tonnes of carbon into the deep ocean annually, which equates to $4-46 billion of storage value, depending on the price of carbon.
