Just what are Krill?

Krill are small, shrimp like creatures that are abundant in the waters of the arctic regions. In many regions they are the primary feed for the great whales, seals, penguins, sea birds, squid and fish. An adult whale eats up to 8,000 pounds of krill each day during feeding season.
Krill have been harvested as a food source for both humans and domesticated animals since the 1800s. The oil derived from Krill is rich in phospholipids, the building blocks for cell membranes, and Essential Fatty Acids including Omega-3, 6 and 9.
