krill: correct
Krill are small marine crustaceans of the order Euphausiacea. They are considered the start of the food chain in Antarctica. They are the primary food source of penguins and whalebone whales in and around Antarctica, for example. The name is believed to come from Norwegian "kril", meaning "young of fish", possibly because the first people to see krill may have thought they were young fish instead of something unique.

sponge: correct
Sponges are not herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. They are planktivores and detritivores (very fancy words that basically mean they eat very tiny organisms). The Porifera phylum consists of 3 classes and about 5000 species of sponges.
Sponges are abundant in all oceans, major seas, and some fresh water areas. In Antarctica, at depths of 100-200 meters, 75 per cent of the benthic biomass are sponges. Many civilizations have harvested sponges, but probably none more so than the Greeks. Greeks have harvested sponges from the Mediterranean Sea for as long as anyone can remember. But the quantity and quality drastically reduced by the 1800s. Then, some Greek immigrants found sponges of high quality and high quantity in the Gulf of Mexico near Tarpon Springs, Florida. This caused many more Greek immigrants to go there. In the early 1900s, Tarpon Springs was the sponge capital of the world. But the waters in and around Florida are known to periodically get algae called "red tide". Scientists do not know the cause of this. It kills much marine life. Although sponges are resistant to hydrocarbons (including detergents) and heavy metals, one "red tide" outbreak in the mid-1900s killed much of the sponges that were being harvested at Tarpon Springs. At the same time, artificial sponges were being created. So the natural sponge industry is not as strong as it once was. Tarpon Springs is now more of a tourist center for the history of sponge harvesting. But harvesting still occurs. Other strong areas have been found in the Gulf not too far from Tarpon Springs. Even the old areas have replenished. There is still a market for natural sponges, although not as strong as it once was. In addition to consumers, there is also an interest in potential pharmaceutical uses.

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.
