Recent reports have emerged of humpback whales found dead or injured in the nets used in Antarctica's expanding krill fishery, raising alarms among conservationists. The whale deaths coincided with discussions among international officials that failed to establish stricter fishing limits in the Southern Ocean. As krill catch has surged amid rising demand, concerns grow over the impact on marine life, particularly whales, as fishing practices evolve without adequate regulation. The krill fishery, essential to the ecosystem, faces increasing pressures from climate change and geopolitical disputes over conservation measures.
