With new research we know quite a bit about krill. But they are hard to study because they live in the water column or pelagic zone. The name Krill is a common name use to describe about 85 different species of crustaceans from the scientific name Euphausiidae.

I didn’t know this, but it says on the website that one kill can lay 10,000 eggs at a time, Wow this is why they have such big population.
