These #shrimp -like #crustaceans occur around #Antarctica but are most highly concentrated in the #AntarcticPeninsula, which also happens to be one of the fast-warming places on the planet. That’s bad news for krill — and everything that depends on them — which is a lot.

Only a few inches long, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) may be small, but their contributions to the #ecosystem are massive — much like the swarms themselves.
