Portrait of Uwe Kils Uwe Kils How Krill feeds (2006)

The feeding basket sometimes is also utilized to capture larger plankton organisms: In the in situ image of fig. 1. a red organism directly between the antennae can be observed, probably a copedpod. In aquaria krill has been observed feeding on dead animals of the same species.
When it became possible, with underwater cameras, to look into the folded environments of the under-ice surface of the pack ice another feeding strategy of krill became known: Many animals swam in upside down position obliquely under the ice, others were working the side and bottom areas of ice caves.
