I wondered the same thing when I saw a TV ad for krill oil dietary supplement gelcaps.
Apparently, vessels like this are sent to the waters off the coast of Antarctica, and just scoop the wee sumbitches up in nets.

so a person couldn't go get krill with their little boat. I'd have to buy it from a company?

 

There are no Hints from Helouise on how to get bargain priced krill.

 

Okay, apparently krill is NOT jawla, which is what we get in India.

Jawla is Acetes indicus which is very very tiny shrimp

Krill is Meganyctiphanes norvegica

 

so, how woudl I get krill? Is krill another name for Sea Monkies?

 

Are these sea monkeys?

I heard that Krill, by weight, are the most prolific species on earth. Is that true?

I think they should have a tv network for cooking for animals. I used to love to cook for my dog.

 

I'm sure you can make a spin-off recipe book. You then hold public taste testing, go through some of those famous pet-stores etc for publicity hype. Seems pretty feasible from first glance, judging that your competition is in some ways lacking.

 

in Russia cooked freshwater crayfish are sold almost on every station of a train stop. Very cheap and very delicious.

There are like krill, except you get them from mud underneath the river.

 

i dont know but that sounds far fetched MacGuyver.

 

What is far fetched? MacGyver's idea of having cooking network for pets? :bugeye: I def. know this will be a reality in sometime, after all we already have bunch of pet tv channels.

 

Krill weigh very little. even in their abundance i doubt they are the most prolific 'by weight'.

 

yeah but just think of how many fish eat them...also take into account that oceans are 70% of the Earth. So right off the bat its obvious that by weight of total abudance of organism it will be one that lives in the ocean. What choices are there? Krill is def. a good candidate.
