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.
