Southern Ocean whale populations are being threatened by human activity — a trend that could worsen global warming, Stanford researchers found in a study published in September. Researchers at ...

When Antarctic krill swarm, the semi-transparent shrimp-like crustaceans join together in the millions or trillions, forming dense coral-colored underwater clouds as they swim in sync with one another ...

Swarms of krill in the Southern Ocean form the second tier of the Antarctic food pyramid, following plant plankton. If stocks were to shrink due to over-intensive fishing, this would incur direct ...

The foul stench of penguin poop sets Antarctic krill on edge. In lab experiments, the mere scent of penguin droppings — or guano — sent krill scrambling for escape, researchers report March 20 in ...

Louis Etienne and his crew of eight scientists this week began an expedition to the remote waters of Antarctica, where they hope to gather a wealth of data to demonstrate the benefits of creating ...

Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key coastal habitats for storing carbon and should be similarly protected, according to new research. The study shows that a single species, Antarctic krill ...
