whales, sea birds, penguins, squid, seals and other animals. Stop fishing off the coast of Antarctica.

WIthout it, penguins, sea birds, whales, and other animals that feed on krill around the Antarctic Peninsula will be at risk of undernourishment or starvation.

Most animals who live in the oceans or seas really depend on krill and its very important that they stay alive. Penguins, sea birds, whales and other animals that feed on krill around the Antarctic Peninsula will be at risk of undernourishment or starvation.

Due to this development the banishing of krill could endanger many species that depend on krill

The biggest threats to krill are whales, sea birds, penguins, squid, seals and other animals. To save the krill population we can stop fishing in the designated areas around the Bransfield Strait.

Whales, sea birds, penguins, squid and seals all feed off krill. And they compete with commercial fisheries in the same waters are the biggest threats to the krill population. To help preserve the krill population from decreasing people are limiting how much krill large commercial trawlers can vacuum, forcing fishing companies to spread their fishing activity across larger areas.

The biggest threats to the krill population in the Antarctic are Whales, Sea birds, Penguins, Squid, Seals, and commercial fisheries. To help prevent krill population from decreasing people can decrease the amount of krill taken in certain fishing spots around the Arctic.

Many different animals either from the air or in the water depend on the krill to either feed off of them or use them. Whales eat them in large quantities and sea birds also feed mainly on them, if they are diminishing the animals that feed off them will starve or have to rely on other food.

It is a very important thing for krill to be around for a long time because that is how some see animals get there energy and food. Like Whales,seabirds,penguins,squid and seals. How you can prevent the krill population from decreasing is too limit the amount of commercial fishing in that area because that is a big reason why people are seeing such a decline in them

The biggest threats to the krill population are whales, sea birds, penguins, squids, and seals, all of these animals feed of off krill. In order to help prevent the krill population from decreasing, we need to limit the amount of commercial fishing in the Antarctic.

Researchers are concerned for the future of krill and all of the marine life that rely on krill for survival. The biggest threat to the krill population now is commercial fishing. To prevent the decline of krill in Antarctica, we must first take more precautions in ensuring that the global climate change doesn't worsen. The krill live on the bottom of the sea ice and with the ice melting, it is harder for krill to survive.

There are many animals such as whales,seabirds,penguins,seals,and squid that eat krill and decline their population.Also another big problem to krill is commercial fishers because they use them as fish oil to sell to people.They can prevent the decline by putting boundaries to the fishers in each zone how much krill they can catch.They need to go to more populations not to small zones.

The biggest threats to krill are whales, sea birds, penguins, squid, seals and other animals, by helping these animals we can stop fishing.

The biggest threats to the krill populations of the Antarctic are melting sea ice and commercial fisheries. To protect the krill, we can better regulate Antarctic fishing.

The biggest threat to krill are penguins, squids, whales and commercial fishermen. To help save krill we can stop fishing in certain areas where commercial fishing can have a strong impact on there population.
