Cameras Catch Tiny Krill Having Deep-Water Sex
The sex lives of the ocean-dwelling crustaceans known as krill have been largely a mystery. Now deep-water cameras have revealed how, and where, these tiny animals do it.
The black-and-white footage collected by cameras at 16 stations off East Antarctica shows the ghostlike creatures darting about. By analyzing these images, the researchers, led by So Kawaguchi of the Australian Antarctic Division, broke the mating sequence down into five steps. And with the help of an animator, the footage became a short film explaining krill sex. [See krill-sex animation here]
In the footage, mature males are identifiable by their elongated shapes and prominent antennae. Females have thoraxes – the region between their head and abdomen – swollen with eggs.
The mating sequence begins with a chase, in which the male pursues the female. During the "embrace," the male positions his packet of sperm and then transfers it to the female either while embracing her as they face each other, or during the next phase, when he wraps his abdomen around the female's abdomen. The pretzeled couple then swims in circles together before separating. [See the video footage here]

They only tell you lies
It´d take him by surprise
"I will offer you the truth, so you can
Take my blood, believe or not
And you will see, the Blood is me
Take my blood, I am not a god
And you will see, it is only me"
