Krill Are Small, But Their Benefits For Pets Are Significant

 

 

Present in all oceans, they hold a vital position in the marine food chain. Through millions of years of evolution, krill’s bioactive components and molecules have sustained nature’s diverse species.

Because Antarctic krill is a superior source of omega-3s, krill might be the answer to the growing awareness of and demand for marine omega-3s for pets.

The Story Of Krill

About the same size as an average paper clip, Antarctic Krill spend most of their life feeding on microscopic algae and play a key role in the ocean's ecosystem, being an integral part of the survival of many marine species.

Krill are present in most oceans around the world, however, they gather together in huge swarms in Antarctica to feed on microscopic algae. This makes it possible to harvest this powerful and nutrient-rich little crustacean. Living in the pristine and unpolluted waters of the Southern Ocean means Antarctic krill are virtually free of environmental contaminants and toxins.
