Krill oil is an oil extracted from krill, small marine crustaceans harvested mainly from Antarctic waters, valued as a source of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of phospholipids as well as the antioxidant astaxanthin, which gives the oil its characteristic reddish color. It is marketed primarily as a dietary supplement, often positioned as an alternative to fish oil. Krill harvesting for oil production is subject to catch limits set by international bodies overseeing Antarctic marine resources because of concerns about krill's central role in the Southern Ocean food web.
