The development of the bioactive substances of the Antarctic krill

Antarctic krill(Euphausia superb) lives in the special environment in its particularly active way of life,which has powerfully potential in producing novel bioactive substances.It is also the subject of a large fishery now.While a few produce bioactive substances have been described and researched.The bioactive substances derived from Antarctic krill are diverse,including enzymes,lipids,chitin,bioactive peptides and the substances of UV-absorbing,and so on.The bioactive substances derived from Antarctic krill are reviewed in order to fully developing and utilizing this resource.
