Stanford researchers identify the growing food conflict and offer solutions.</p><p>September 10th, 2024</p><p>"Human harvesting of krill in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a Sept. 10 study in Nature Communications.</p><p>"The tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans known as krill are the essential food source for baleen whales such as blues and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/humpbacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humpbacks</span></a>. To feed, these giant marine mammals take in great gulps of ocean water, filtering krill through bristly mouth structures. Booming demand for krill as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FishMeal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FishMeal</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/omega3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>omega3</span></a> fatty acid nutritional <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/supplements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>supplements</span></a>, however, could leave whales without enough victuals to sustain even their diminished numbers.</p><p>" 'Our calculations suggest an alarming possibility that we might harvest krill to the point where we do real damage to recovering whale populations,' said lead study author Matthew Savoca, a research scientist in the lab of Jeremy Goldbogen, associate professor of oceans in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.</p><p>"The results highlight a need for scientists, regulators, and industry to carefully assess the impacts of krill harvesting in the Southern Ocean at current levels before expanding. 'With this study, we want to draw attention to how there likely isn’t enough krill to support fully recovered whale populations, and now on top of that, we’re harvesting krill and plan to harvest more krill in the near future,' said Goldbogen, the study’s senior author<br>. <br>Counting on krill</p><p>"The new research grew out of a prior Stanford study documenting how baleen whales gobble up significantly more krill than scientists had previously estimated. A paradoxical finding of that study was that, as whale populations plummeted by roughly 90% in the Southern Ocean during whaling’s grim heyday, so, too, did krill populations.</p><p>"The researchers worked out that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BaleenWhales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BaleenWhales</span></a> effectively fertilize the ocean through their prodigious droppings, providing nutrients for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/phytoplankton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>phytoplankton</span></a> that krill eat. The upshot: The krill population must have been much larger, perhaps five times greater, than it is currently to have sustained the pre-whaling whale populations in the early 20th century.</p><p>" 'Krill is the foundation of the entire Southern Ocean ecosystem. They’re really the only thing that large whales eat down there,' Savoca said.</p><p>"In the nearly 40 years since a global whaling moratorium went into place in 1986, some Southern Ocean species – particularly humpbacks – have made an impressive comeback. Yet this recovery has taken place against increasing competition with humans for the whales’ critical food source; over the past 30 years, the krill catch has quadrupled to around 400,000 tons annually and is set to expand further. </p><p>"Savoca and colleagues calculated how much krill is left in the Southern Ocean for baleen whales, seabirds, and other predators to eat after industrial krill harvesting at current rates, compared to the estimated amount of krill available before industrial whaling began. 'The basic math makes it pretty clear that the current krill biomass cannot support both an expanding krill fishery and the recovery of whale populations to pre-whaling size,' said Savoca."</p><p>Read more:</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaveTheWhales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SaveTheWhales</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KrillSupplements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KrillSupplements</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Overfishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Overfishing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodChain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodChain</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Whales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Whales</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Extinction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlueWhales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueWhales</span></a></p>

The historic catch amount occurred due to the lapse of a key <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> regulation requiring the fishery to distribute fishing over a larger geographic area.</p><p>"Krill is at the base of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodChain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodChain</span></a> in Antarctica and increasing demand from companies seeking to sell fishmeal, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PetFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PetFood</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DietarySupplements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DietarySupplements</span></a> has led to a spiraling increase in catch. International negotiations at CCAMLR, the body charged with conserving marine living resources in Antarctica, broke down last year, resulting in lowering of protections related to krill catch. This reduction in protection allows the entire krill quota to be caught in a very small area, increasing impacts to krill predators – <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/penguins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>penguins</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/seals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>seals</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/whales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>whales</span></a> – that depend on krill to survive.</p><p>"The next round of negotiations on these issues will be held in Australia in October.

Sea ShepherdThis should be a <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/penguin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#penguin</a> paradise ⚠️🐧<br> Chinstrap penguins - named after the thin black line under their chin - come to this area near Coronation Island to nest on the elevated ground. It’s where they raise their chicks, who stay warm and tucked away for about 30 days before waddling off to join a penguin daycare (yes, really), watched over by a few adults from the colony.<br> <br> But raising chicks takes energy. And for that, they rely on one thing being close by: <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/krill?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#krill</a>❗<br> <br> It’s their main food source - and they need a lot of it.<br> But now, they’re not the only ones hunting for it.👇<br> Industrial super trawlers are out here too, hauling up krill by the ton, day and night. Right where the penguins feed..<br> <br> They can’t fight industrial fishing. But you can!<br> <br> 🔔 Tomorrow, we’re sharing a video update from the frontlines - showing something the krill industry would probably rather keep out of sight.<br> <br> Watch it. Share it.
