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.

What animal is the most common in Antarctica's Southern Ocean?
The base of the short food chain in the Southern Ocean is formed by Antarctic Krill, Euphasia surperba, and it is the most common animal there.The Species Fact Sheet Euphausia superba, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization, estimates that the biomass of Antarctic krill is between "125 to 725 million tonnes." This is possibly the "largest plankton assemblages in the world."
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.
