Krill, an abundant renewable resource

Krill is a generic term used to designate deepwater marine planktonic crustacean species. It looks like miniature shrimp, ranging between one and six centimeters in length. These 85 species represents the planet's most abundant animal biomass found in banks that may extend over several square kilometers. Neptune sources its krill from the Antarctic Ocean.

The management and control of krill harvesting is led by the 25-state member Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), which is the official and reliable international organization responsible for krill fishery management.

• Many studies have been undertaken and they show that the biomass of Antarctic krill, one of the world's most abundant biomass, may amount to 400-420 million tonnes. This standing stock is subject to annual natural reproduction providing renewable krill for predation, natural mortality and human exploitation.
• The precautionary catch limit set by the CCAMLR is 6.6 million tonnes for 2010 and is reviewed annually. It was increased from 4.9 million tonnes in 2005/06 based on the results of recent surveys.
  • Less than 2.4% of the precautionary catch limit is actually harvested, which means that the catch limit is unlikely to be reached in the foreseeable future.
  • The precautionary catch limits on the krill fishery are under constant review by the Scientific Committee of CCAMLR which uses an ecosystem approach to management.
• The annual natural reproduction of Antarctic krill is at least several hundred million tonnes constantly renewing the standing stock and granting sufficient krill for all marine mammals and fish, birds and human exploitation.
  • Antarctic baleen whales are estimated to consume 85 million tonnes per year.
  • Less than 120,000 tonnes of the annually set total catch limit of 6.6 million tonnes are harvested by fisheries.

Since Neptune's activities rely on krill as a biomass to benefit human health, its conservation is in its foremost interest which leads the Company to continuously monitor the ecological- and environmental-friendly harvest of its krill.
