Put a krill on the barbie

Antarctic researchers get a surprise and a thrill after moving in for the krill

From the above article: it seems there are more krill out there than they thought:

Scientists aboard the research ship Aurora Australis have found aggregations of the shrimp-like krill up to hundreds of kilometres in extent in little-explored seas of eastern Antarctica...

The slowly expanding Antarctic krill fishery last year took 118,000 tonnes from the far South Atlantic, the only area where it is fished. This is a fraction of the 4 million-tonne catch limit for the area set by the 24-nation Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.

And something I would not have thought of:

Antarctic krill is the most abundant and successful animal species on the planet.

Try to slip that snippet of information into a conversation today.
