Krill reach sexual maturity after 3 years, and both male and female krill are required to reproduce. During the dark, cold months krill shrink in size and lose their reproductive capacity--a process called "regression." As warmth, hours of light and food supply increases, they become sexually mature again.
The male produces tiny sperm packets and uses his legs to transfer them to the female's reproductive organs. The female stores the sperm packet in a pouch until she is ready to lay her eggs. The eggs are fertilized while leaving her body.
