Nagoya aquarium breaks record for krill in captivity

NAGOYA, Japan - The Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium in Aichi Prefecture has kept an Antarctic krill in captivity (shown in this photo) for a record-breaking seven years and nine months as part of efforts to breed the small shrimp-like crustaceans, aquarium officials said May 1. Krill are extremely sensitive to their environment. The previous record for keeping Antarctic krill in captivity was held by an Australian laboratory, which kept one alive for six and a half years.
