Krill is a small shimp-like crustacean. It is the most important zooplankton species associated with the sea ice and plays a key role in the Antarctic food web. Each krill consists of about 15% high quality protein containing vital amino acids and about 3% fat and vitamins. It also supplies minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and calcium. It is very nutritious and a natural source of energy.
