The Antarctic Krill的意思|示意

Krill fishing in the Antarctic has worsened the pollution of the pristine waters.

南极的磷虾捕捞加剧了对原始水域的污染。

When the gulf waters freeze over during the Antarctic winter, they hunt for the krill that lives underneath the ice surface.

在南极洲的冬天，海湾的水面都被冻住了，它们就会去捕捉冰层下面的磷虾为食。

Krill, the whales' main source of food, are threatened by higher ocean temperatures and melting sea ice around the Antarctic, which would in turn hurt the whales' chances of survival.

在南极地区，由于海洋温度的上升和海冰的融化，露脊鲸主要的食物来源南极磷虾受到了严重威胁，这反过来也危及到了鲸类的生存。

Other studies show that supplies of the krill-tiny Marine crustaceans-that fuel the Antarctic food chain also dropped during this period.

另外一些研究表明同期的磷虾数量也急剧下降。而这种小的甲克生物正式南极鲸的食物来源。
