It is the world’s largest known single specie biomass, estimated to several hundred million tons. The reproductive rate is very high. The actual harvest is less than 0,1% of the estimated total biomass per year. For comparison other known sustainable fisheries have a 10-15% harvest rate. The by-catch is known to be low and is eliminated through specialized fishing methods. Over the past 20 years there has been no observed adverse effect on the Antarctic food web. Old methods for estimating of krill population biomass have been replaced with more sophisticated methods. Independent observers collect a variety of data including tonnages of krill harvested, as well as any by-catch, to assist with scientific management. On-board satellite monitoring equipment records the position and duration of the vessel in the fishery at any times. An Antarctic Krill fishery is sustainable because:
