Combined mass of krill in Antarctic is greater than mass of humans on Earth
- "There are so many Antarctic krill in the Southern Ocean that the combined mass of these tiny aquatic organisms is more than that of the world’s 7.5 billion human inhabitants. Scientists have long known about this important zooplankton species, but they haven’t been certain why particular regions or “hotspots” in the Southern Ocean are so productive." - Excerpt from Oregon State University.
