Crustaceans
Usually considered as a subphylum, Crustaceans comprise a group of arthropods including crabs, crayfish, lobsters and shrimp. Most crustaceans are aquatic animals, though some are terrestrial, parasitic and barnacles. Crustaceans have a chitinous exoskeleton, segmented body, and paired jointed limbs.

Hindu dietary practices vary widely based on regional, cultural, and personal beliefs. Some Hindus are vegetarians and avoid eating all forms of meat, including prawns, while others may consume seafood, including prawns, especially in coastal regions where it is culturally accepted.

How big are krill and how many does it take to feed a whale?
The krill I have seen were reddish orange in colour, about 30 mm long, and en route to the Antarctic, the ocean around us was quite coloured. A bucket just lowered over the side produced a layer of krill about 20 mm deep at the bottom.
These shrimp like animals are a very important part of the food chain, living on phyto plankton and other tiny creatures, and in turn providing a food source for whales, seagulls, and penguins.
They are (wastefully) harvested as fertilizer.
What kind of coelom do crayfish have?
The kid of coelom crayfish have are a cephalothorax and the abdomen. Crayfish are crustaceans which live in freshwater and closely resemble lobsters.

Why is the krill so important to the survival of every other animal that makes Antarctica its home?
Antarctic krill -- Euphausia superba -- form the base of the food chain in the Southern Ocean that surrounds the Antarctic continent. It is the most productive protein source on earth.
No animal 'makes its home' on the Antarctic continent.
Krill provide a bait source to catch fish. Fish is a food source common taken in Antarctica due to lack of other food sources and the soil has no ability to farm with. Also Krill are important food sources to seals and penguins.
I suppose you could call the crayfish the cousin of the lobster. Crayfish certainly look like lobsters. But they are fresh water animals and lobsters are salt water creatures.
Crustaceans are organisms under the subphylum crustacea, encompassing over 50,000 species. Their eating habits are not all the same, so you can not make a general statement.
Mantis shrimp are carnivorous hunters, copepods are often herbivorous, caridina shrimp are often omnivorous scavangers... It would be better to refine the question further.
I wish I could give you a reliable general statement, but I don't know the 50,000 species, haha. Sorry!
yes krill is eaten by pretty much any fish in the ocean were krill can be found. When most people think of krill they think of a whale, being that the krill is the whales main source of food.
