Dear friends MONGABAY’s just reported on latest CCAMLR’s decision about the South Antarctic krill and other species fisheries, which can be read here.

Dear Friends Some frenzy years have passed for South Korean consumers dealing with poor-quality (read false) krill oils. Not only blended (read not pure) krill oils, but also oxidized ones.

Dear friends and consumers You all have followed our extensive coverage of what it seems it has become an habit in the South Korean market, offering (very) poor (unclean) krill oils.
