What is a life cycle of a krill?

The life cycle of a krill begins with eggs, which are released into the water by adult females. These eggs hatch into larvae, known as nauplii, which go through several developmental stages, including the juvenile phase, before reaching adulthood. As they grow, krill molt multiple times, transitioning through various stages known as instars. Adult krill can live for several years and are crucial to marine ecosystems, serving as a primary food source for many larger marine animals.
