Validating Northern Krill as a Calibrated Source of Ocean Protein

Northern krill (*Meganyctiphanes norvegica*) remains a largely uncalibrated source of ocean protein, despite its ecological prevalence. Our systematic review, conducted to PRISMA 2020 standards, reveals critical knowledge gaps: insufficient long-term population studies, incomparable biomass estimates, and a lack of toxicity data on protein concentrates. The constraint to sustainable use is not the processing chemistry, but responsible biomass access. Understanding drives protection.
