Ames<p>"Our latest study reports on a wealth of new ancestral penguins from this locality. We’ve identified four new species that lived around 62 million to 57 million years ago, during the Paleocene.

The historic catch amount occurred due to the lapse of a key <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> regulation requiring the fishery to distribute fishing over a larger geographic area.</p><p>"Krill is at the base of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FoodChain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FoodChain</span></a> in Antarctica and increasing demand from companies seeking to sell fishmeal, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PetFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PetFood</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DietarySupplements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DietarySupplements</span></a> has led to a spiraling increase in catch. International negotiations at CCAMLR, the body charged with conserving marine living resources in Antarctica, broke down last year, resulting in lowering of protections related to krill catch. This reduction in protection allows the entire krill quota to be caught in a very small area, increasing impacts to krill predators – <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/penguins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>penguins</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/seals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>seals</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/whales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>whales</span></a> – that depend on krill to survive.</p><p>"The next round of negotiations on these issues will be held in Australia in October.
