Antarctic Krill: Tiny Creature, Big Benefits! 🦐🌊

Antarctic krill are vital to the Southern Ocean’s ecosystem and a nutritional powerhouse.

🌐 What makes them special?
With 600 million to 1 billion tons in biomass, krill feed on plankton and support whales, seals, and penguins.

💪 Nutritional Value:
Krill meat has more protein than beef or fish and contains essential amino acids.

⚠️ Important Note:
Due to high fluoride in their shells, krill must be processed quickly after capture to ensure safety.

🧈 Common Uses:
Krill are often used in krill oil, aquaculture feed, and additives rather than direct consumption.

Krill are key to the ocean’s balance and offer many benefits when responsibly processed! 🌏
