Is there any point in fishing for krill in antarctica?
There is no commercial krill fishing in the oceans that surround the Antarctic continent -- the Antarctic Treaty forbids it.
What are the producers in the Southern Ocean?
The base of the food chain is formed by Antarctic Krill, Euphasia supberba.
When was Antarctic krill created?
Antarctic krill was created in 1850.
Where abouts do krill live in antarctica?
Krill live in the southern oceans. but one type called the Antarctic Krill does live in of course the antarctic. Euphausia superba, makes up an estimated biomass of over 500,000,000 tonnes (490,000,000 LT; 550,000,000 ST), about twice that of humans. more than half is eaten by whales, seals, penguins, squid and fish every year, but they are replaced by reproduction. Most krill species have large daily vertical migrations, by doing this they provide food for many other animals.
Why are the animals in antarctica important?
Because they're all apart of an important food chain. Krill are eaten by fish, which are eaten by penguins, which are eaten by seals, which are eaten by killer whales. I guess your thinking, then what does the Antarctic Blue Whale eat? They eat krill as well. See how it's turning into a food web?
What producers live in Antarctica?
There are no producers in any food chain on the Antarctic continent, because it's too cold there for any food chain to grow.However, the Southern Ocean that surrounds the continent is the most productive food chain on earth in terms of the amount of protein produced there. The base of that productive, sea food chain is the Antarctic Krill -- Euphausia superba.The main producer in Antarctica is phytoplankton
What is krill eaten by?
Krill is eaten by small fish, penguins and whales.
What is a krill's habitat?
ok if you don't know don't answer!Krill live in all the world's oceans, with species distributed in tropical waters as well as the cold waters of the Arctic and the Antarctic regions.hope that's what you were looking for
How do penguins nourish themselves?
Penguins feed on krill, which is the base of the Antarctic food chain. (The entire Antarctic food chain exists in the Antarctic seas and oceans that surround the continent: it's too cold for any nourishment to grow on the continent.)
Why do krill live in the southern waters of the Antarctic?
This animal -- Euphasia supberba -- is the base of the Southern Ocean's food chain. It is the natural habitat for this animal. Thirty one other species of krill populate other oceans.
How many krill are in the oceans?
