南极磷虾区附近创纪录的鲸鱼数量引起对工业捕捞威胁重要食物来源的警报。 Record whale numbers near Antarctic krill zones raise alarms over industrial fishing threatening vital food sources.

2026年,在南极洲磷虾捕捞区附近聚集的座头鲸和鳍鲸数量创下记录,令人担心工业捕捞正在威胁鲸鱼、企鹅和海豹的食物供应。 In 2026, record numbers of humpback and fin whales are gathering near krill fishing zones in Antarctica, raising concerns that industrial harvesting is threatening the food supply of whales, penguins, and seals. 去年年初,由补充品和动物饲料需求驱动的磷虾渔业达到了620 000吨的年限,促使保罗·沃森船长基金会和海牧人等环境团体挑战作业,特别是挪威Aker QRIL的作业,后者寻求扩大渔获量。 The krill fishery, driven by demand for supplements and animal feed, hit its 620,000-tonne annual limit early last year, prompting environmental groups like the Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Sea Shepherd to challenge operations, particularly those of Norway’s Aker QRILL, which seeks to expand catches. 虽然渔业受到南极海生委的管制,但活动家认为,增加收获会破坏养护,特别是因为气候变化对生态系统造成压力。 While the fishery is regulated under CCAMLR, activists argue that increased harvesting undermines conservation, especially as climate change stresses the ecosystem.
