text: Krill and other Euphausids have a somewhat unusual ability amongst animals with exoskeletons in that they are able to shrink at a moult rather than grow if the food supply is very low for a extended time as it may well be in the Antarctic winter> this can happen after as little as seven days starvation and is thought to be an important method by which krill survive the seasonal fluctuations of food in Antarctica while being able to quickly feed and grow again when the seasonal abundance of phytoplankton arrives.
