Copepods compete for this title with Antarctic krill ( " Euphausia superba " ) . " C . glacialis " inhabits the edge of the Arctic icepack, where they alone comprise up to 80 % of zooplankton biomass.

In the Southern Ocean, one species, the Antarctic krill, " Euphausia superba ", makes up an estimated daily vertical migrations, thus providing food for predators near the surface at night and in deeper waters during the day.

Well-known species of the Euphausiidae of commercial krill fisheries include Antarctic krill ( " Euphausia superba " ), Pacific krill ( " Euphausia pacifica " ) and Northern krill ( " Meganyctiphanes norvegica " ).

"' Antarctic krill "'( " "'Euphausia superba " "') is a species of krill found in the biomass, probably the most abundant animal species on the planet ( approximately 500 million tonnes, corresponding to 300 to 400 trillion individuals ).

As of 2003 experimental small-scale harvesting was being carried out in other areas, for example, fishing for " Euphausia pacifica " off British Columbia and harvesting " Meganyctiphanes norvegica ", " Thysanoessa raschii " and " Thysanoessa inermis " in the Gulf of St . Lawrence.

Its own diet consists of bony fish such as " Engraulis japonicus " and " Sardinops sagax ", crabs such as " Erimacrus isenbeckii ", " Oregonia gracilis " and spider crabs, euphausiids such as " Euphausia pacifica ", as well as cephalopods, polychaetes, and debris.
