Pandalus borealis is a benthic animal that lives in the Arctic ocean. This area is often affected by industrial and shipping activities, which leads to the accumulation of pollutants in water, including heavy metals, organic chlorides and other chemicals. In addition, pandalus borealis is also an important link in the Arctic food chain.
They are the main food sources for many other creatures, including whales, seals and birds. If humans overfish pandalus borealis, it may destroy this fragile ecosystem and have a negative impact on other animal populations. Pandalus borealis is fished for food in some areas, but due to its environmental impact and importance to the ecosystem, we must be cautious about consumption in pandalus borealis.
