Antarctic penguins losing to climate change through 80% krill decline

Very unlikely scenario.

Rather than negative climate impacts or human fishing scenarios causing an 80% decline of Krill, it is more likely that the massive expansion of whale populations are depleting the Krill biomass.

We are observing pelagic sea bird declines and there is a correlation where whale populations are increasing.
