Ocean Fisheries Antarctic Krill Fishing

This combination of March 2023 photos shows ships involved in krill fishing in the Southern Ocean off Antarctica, top row from left, the Antarctic Endeavour, the Shen Lan and the Sejong; middle row from left, the Long Fa, the Antarctic Endurance and the Antarctic Sea; bottom row from left, the More Sodruzhestva and the Frio Las Palmas. Starting every December, around 10 to 12 mostly Norwegian and Chinese vessels brave the rough seas whipping across the tip of South America to descend upon the South Orkney Islands, a desolate chain of rocky outcrops. From there, as temperatures warm, the fleet follows the massive swarms of krill toward the South Pole, fishing at the foundation of the fragile ecosystem’s food web. (AP Photo/David Keyton)
