Small shrimp-like marine crustaceans that form the primary food source for many whales, fish, and seabirds in ocean ecosystems.
Where the word comes from
Krill comes from Norwegian *kril*, meaning small fry or young fish. The word entered English in the early 20th century as marine biologists adopted the Norwegian term to describe the tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that form the diet of baleen whales. The Norwegian word itself likely derives from Old Norse roots related to creeping or crawling creatures, though the exact etymology remains uncertain.
