The water temperature rises is expected to reduce the number of more than 80% species of Antarctic krill.

According to the August 31st FIS report: Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) habitat is experiencing a continued deterioration of the process, it may lead to the decrease of 80%. because of the species species is a more important role in the marine food chain in the end of this century, they will reduce the lead to other marine species in the food problem, such as whale, penguins, seals, squid, fish and other marine species. This analysis mainly from the Yale University high latitude marine biological system dynamics and future research center researcher Andrea PI and Alexey Fedorov n ones in arid area (ceaza) research report pointed out that since 1970, the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) the number of reduction of 80%-90%, which caused extensive debate in the scientific community. Most scholars believe that the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) the reduction must be caused by environmental changes, especially the change Warm Antarctic waters. This report was published in "Geophysical Research Letters" magazine, the researchers simulated according to the growth pattern of global climate change and the trajectory of Antarctic krill they think, with the warming and melting of sea ice before 2100 Antarctic krill habitat will be reduced by more than 80%. The greenhouse effect will improve the sea ocean temperature, flow temperature will ring extremely deep water from the current 1 degrees Celsius increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius, and part of the Antarctic sea surface temperature will reach 2 degrees Celsius
