This is a colour photograph of a mass of krill that have been captured in the closed end (or codend) of a trawling net. Krill are small marine crustaceans with a pink shrimp-like appearance and prominent black eyes. They swim in large swarms in the water for protection. Antarctic krill ('Euphausia superba') are the species of krill found in the Antarctic oceans in largest quantities.
