The aim of the study is to investigate the existing form and the partitioning pattern of fluoride in krill (Euphusia superba) by analyzing the fluoride and other elements in various part of krill, primarily to approach the potential concentrating mechanism and the effect of fluoride in krill on the geochemical characteristics of fluoride in the Antarctic eco-environment. The results of the study show that the amount of fluoride in various part of krill has a considerable difference.
