Krill vs. Shrimp The krill is sometimes mistaken for a shrimp because of the similarities between their long, segmented bodies. But the main differences are that the shrimp has two segments, a colorful non-transparent body, and a slightly large size. The biggest shrimp can even grow up to ...
One of them is krill, a shrimp-like crustacean that feeds off algae in deep ocean waters. Krill is rich in both EPA and DHA. In Krill, 30–65% of EPA and DHA are in phospholipid fatty acids, while in fish or fish oil, EPA and DHA are mainly in triglycerides (sn-2 position) [4...

Krill are small shrimp-like creatures which can reach around 2.5 inches long ©RLS Photo/Shutterstock.com The most significant differences between plankton and krill can be found in their size and phylogenetic families. All krill are plankton, but not all plankton are considered krill. Krill are...
Antarctic krill, a crustacean often compared to shrimp and about 6 cm long, inhabits all waters surrounding Antarctica (Fig.3), occupying the key intermediate trophic level of this ecosystem (Flores et al.2012a). Here, this crustacean grazes phytoplankton and serves as feed for whales, penguins...
Krill oil is processed from Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), small shrimp-like animals of the crustacean superorder Eucarida found in the Southern Ocean. Krill oil is a unique source of EPA and DHA because unlike most other oils of marine origin, the major part of EPA and DHA in krill...
