I see the carnist desire for blood has resulted in krill trawlers now invading Antarctica.
Literally fished every single species to near extinction until we have reached krill, the thing as a kid we were taught was whale food and not something humans needed to fish.

The Allankay has arrived in Ushuaia. And now, our crew is complete!
Our CEO Alex has joined, along with scientists and returning crew from past campaigns - experienced, motivated, and ready for what lies ahead.
We’re heading south later in the season than ever before. The seas will be rougher. The fight, more urgent. The stakes are higher than ever.
Our next update will come from #Antarctica. Stay tuned!"

Losing #krill would send shockwaves through the #ecosystem—and beyond.
Here’s why: They’re not just essential food for #whales, #seals, and #penguins. They’re key to our climate. When wildlife feeds on krill, they help transfer carbon to the deep ocean, playing a vital role in stabilizing the climate.
Overfishing krill threatens this balance. Protecting them means protecting life on Earth. 
We’re heading back to protect this fragile ecosystem and take on these relentless trawlers when they least expect it. Your support fuels our mission. Let’s fight for #Antarctica’s future—join us today! https://seashe.ph/SavingAntarctica

The Guardian · ‘Very bad precedent’: China and Russia team up to undermine krill fishing restrictions in Antarctica
Recent #whale #deaths highlight risks from Antarctica's booming #krill fishery.
The Associated Press has learned that two #humpback #whales were found dead and another seriously injured this year in huge nets used to collect krill for fishmeal and human dietary supplements near #Antarctica.

Antarctic krill sequester similar amounts of C to key coastal #BlueCarbon habitats: Emma Cavan et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-52135-6
"Krill are extremely numerous #crustaceans that live around #Antarctica. They eat #algae that take carbon out of the atmosphere by photosynthesis. When krill poo or molt their exoskeletons, the carbon sinks into the #DeepSea where it can stay for a very long time."

Human harvesting of #krill in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of #whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a Sept. 10 study in #NatureCommunications.
The tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans known as krill are the essential food source for #BaleenWhales such as #blues and #humpbacks. To feed, these giant marine mammals take in great gulps of ocean water, filtering krill through bristly mouth structures.

“This study really highlights the need for managers to ensure there is enough #krill left in the #SouthernOcean to feed current whale populations and also enough to support whale recovery,” said study co-author #CassandraBrooks, who earned a doctorate from Stanford’s Emmett Interdisciplinary Program in Environment and Resources (E-IPER) in 2017 and is now an assistant professor in environmental studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Krill harvesting threatens whale recovery 
Soaring human demand for #krill in the #SouthernOcean poses a challenge to the recovery of #whale species once hunted nearly to extinction. #Stanford researchers identify the growing food conflict and offer solutions.
Overlap between industrial krill fishing and foraging whales, such as the humpback whale pictured here, may threaten #BaleenWhale recovery around #Antarctica.

#Krill provide insights into how marine species can adapt to warmer waters https://phys.org/news/2024-08-krill-insights-marine-species-warmer.html
Ecological #genomics in the Northern krill uncovers loci for local adaptation across ocean basins https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-50239-7
Different populations of Northern krill have historically adapted to very different conditions in different parts of the Atlantic. This makes it a perfect model for understanding which genes and functions contribute to adaptation to different marine environments.
Densitaxis: New concept explains how tiny particles navigate water layers, with implications for marine conservation https://phys.org/news/2024-07-concept-tiny-particles-layers-implications.html
"There are two different types of microscopic swimmers—pullers & pushers—and they navigate density gradients differently... Some marine organisms, like #krill and #plankton, perform vertical migrations in search of food... pullers might find it easier to navigate these layers, aiding their vertical movement. Conversely, pushers might face more challenges"

One doesn't need to be a scientist to be absolutely horryfied looking at this.
1. try to heat up a bath tub full of water to see how much energy you need to do so. Then consider how MUCH water there is on the planet.
2. Ask ANY owner of a larger aquarium what happens to the tropical fishes when the temperature of the water rises just a bit to much.
3. Ever thought about food chains on a global scale? #coralreefsmatter #krill
I didn't even mention global weathersystems yet...
