The reason they can provide enough food is because whales eat so many of them (10-15 tons).
Krill swarms are easy 2 million strong. so imagine of a whale runs into a few swarms. The gorge themselves oin it, whales can eat 3 tons of krill a day! But also whales store alot of fat. A mother whale will taker her calves to safe water for the calf to grow strong and can so 5 months with out eating. If you are really interested you should watch planet earth shallow seas show.
the ecosystem will be unbalenced because the krill that blue whales used to eat will reproduce again and again and soon there will be too many of them
No, krill's are omnivores. Not enough of their diet consists of meat to consider them carnivores, and most of them feed on things such as algae.
It depends on the whale. Whales are generally divided into two groups. One is the toothed whales, which are carnivorous. The other group is the baleen whales, which use baleen to strain plankton from the ocean waters. Plankton is the term applied to an extremely broad group of tiny living things that inhabit a particular zone or depth range in the waters. And there are some that are animals, and some that are plants - which is where we were going with our explanation. The toothed whales are carnivorous, and the baleen whales strain tiny animals and plants from the ocean. Since the baleen whales eat both the tiny plants and animals, they probably aren't herbivores. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on whales and on plankton. Surf on over and have a look.
The Southern Ocean is known for having rich levels of krill. Krill are a keystone species in this region and play a crucial role in the ecosystem as a primary food source for many marine animals, including whales, seals, and penguins.

Baleen Whales eat krill using the Baleen in their mouth.
no, krill is a type of fish that whales liketo eat.
no only baleen whales eat krill.
Yes, whales eat. They eat krill. Krill- shrimp-small shrimp like things and they live in salt-water. Whales eat alot of krill a day.
most whales eat krill because of there thin teeth. but mostly humpback whales.
Whales survive by eating krill.
Whales.
Yes, blue whales do eat krill. They eat a lot of it too!
To find food, whales (and dolphins) use echolocation, which uses sound waves to locate krill or fish. they filter krill out of the water
a food chain is a chain about a whale what a whale eats is a krill for e.x whales eat krill,krill eats phytacton
Your question is mistaken. Blue whales eat krill. Krill are tiny organisms that float about in the water and are kind of like plankton.
