Penguin numbers plummeting -- whales partly to blame?
I had read several years ago that the penguin population explosion was due mostly to the reduction of whales; a full compliment of whales eat a lot of krill. It's good to read that one of the reasons for penguin declines is the increase in whales. It's not so good to read that krill stocks are also down due to climate change, though krill fishing is also an influence - I'm just not sure how big an influence.
