What is the biggest animal that has the largest appatiete for small thing?
The blue whale is the largest animal with an appetite for small things, specifically krill. Blue whales can consume up to 4 tons of krill per day, making them one of the largest animals with a diet focused on small organisms.
What effect would a drop in the size of the of the krill population have on the Antarctic food web and why?
Euphasia superba, Antarctic krill, are the base of the food chain in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica.Any decline in their population would mean that the remainder of the food chain would be forced into warmer water to find food.
What is a sentence for krill?
Do you mean a sentence with krill in it? Krill are found in the ocean, they are shrimp-like creatures.
What is the most abundant animal by weight?
The Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, is considered one of the most abundant animal species by weight on Earth. They play a key role in the food chain in the Southern Ocean and are a vital food source for marine animals like whales, seals, and penguins.
What animal has the biggest stomach?
The blue whale has the biggest stomach of all animals. It is capable of stretching to accommodate large amounts of krill, its primary food source.
What population would not be affected by an increase in the krill population?
clams
Is penguin population affected by the krill population?
they will die of hunger
Is there any one animal in Antarctica that is most affected by global warming?
Penguins. They live on fish and krill. Krill supplies are being affected by warmer waters and this is affecting the whole food chain.
What would happen if their was an increase in the krill population?
An increase in the krill population could have significant ecological impacts, particularly in marine ecosystems where they serve as a crucial food source for various species, including whales, seals, and penguins. A surge in krill numbers may support higher populations of these predators, potentially leading to shifts in the food web dynamics. However, if the krill population grows excessively, it could also lead to overgrazing of phytoplankton, disrupting the balance of oceanic primary production and affecting overall marine health.
What are the characteristics of Krill?
Krill is a shrimp-like marine invertebrate animal
What is the population of krill?

Which animal population found in the waters of Antarctica are related to the survival prospects of numerous animals?

What are the population threats to Antarctic krill?
AnswerThe hole in the ozone layer allows radiation from the sun to get through the atmosphere. This can kill phytoplankton, the food krill feed on. this means krill are running out of food. Also about 400,000 tonnes of krill are caught by fishing boats every year. Since 1970 the krill population is down 80%
How does the lack of krill affect the fish population?
The fish eat krill. No more krill means more fish hungry. hunger means potential death.
