Krill are tiny crustaceans that play a HUGE role in Antarctica but they face threats from overfishing and climate change. Their decline could ripple through ecosystems. Check out this krill-tastic infographic from Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) to learn more!

Our latest paper on #krill in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment examines climate change impacts on krill population, behaviour and its implications to fisheries management

ICED and Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Krill Expert Group are convening a joint session (S14 The role of zooplankton (including Antarctic krill) in Southern Ocean ecosystems in a changing world: Integrating across scales, disciplines, and methods) Head 👇and submit your abstracts by 30 Sep 2023!

DYK? Antarctic #krill act as a giant conveyor belt, constantly moving carbon down from the water’s surface by eating carbon-capturing algae, then dropping carbon-filled poop at the bottom of the ocean.

Today we celebrate this tiny but mighty crustacean!🦐 #WorldKrillDay

2 DAYS UNTIL #WORLDKRILLDAY !!!
here's a #krill fact from So Kawaguchi, an expert with antarctica.gov.au!!!

DYK? Antarctic #krill annually store the equivalent of carbon produced by 35 million cars?😱

But #Antarctica & #SouthernOcean are under attack from the climate crisis, threatening its nature, wildlife & us. Because what happens in #Antarctica affects all of us! #WorldKrillDay

Counting down to #WorldKrillDay : Scientists predict Antarctic krill will lose 30% of their suitable habitat this century.

One of the #SouthernOcean ’s most important aspects is its capacity to take up #carbon . “And a huge player in that is #krill . They’re worth fighting for.' Dr. Kim Bernard tells Tara Lohan and The Revelator therevelator.org/antarctic-kril…

One of the benefits of rising early!

The SCAR Krill Action Group exists to change perceptions about krill and we think that #WorldKrillDay is an excellent way to accomplish our goal! #JoinTheSwarm

'Those Krill really tie the ocean together, do they not?'

Today we celebrate the first #WorldKrillDay recognising this vital and mighty little creature.

Krill remind us of our deep connection with Antarctica as we consider future paths for life on our planet.

#Antarctica 🇦🇶

Happy #worldkrillday ! They finally came into the spotlight. Who would have thought this day become reality? I’m so happy! Forever #krill !

Today is Word Krill Day! #WorldKrillDay

On #WorldKrillDay we celebrate why krill matter in the #Antarctic and #SouthernOcean ecosystem. These ‘combine harvesters’ of the sea are critical to the survival of #whales #seals & #penguins . Learn more in our krill extravaganza antarctica.gov.au/news/explore-a…

Finally, Antarctic krill are getting the recognition they deserve.

Join us in recognizing the first #WorldKrillDay this August 11—to celebrate the small but mighty crustaceans at the center of the Southern Ocean ecosystem.
