The article is good and I learned a lot. I'm pregnant right now and looks like krill oil is good for infant brain development. Here's a video of Dr. Mercola about krill oil that I wanted to share as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-ZnG3NoZY They have krill oil made for woman but I need to consult my doctor if she will allow me to take the krill oil supplement. I'm willing to try this one but it still depends on my doctor. My curiosity with your comment Stacy made me visit the link you shared and read the article. The article is good and I learned a lot.

And high-quality fish oils are certainly great products, with many important health benefits. But there are drawbacks. Such as... fish oil is weak in antioxidant content. As you increase your intake of omega-3 essential fatty acids by consuming fish oil, you may actually increase your need for even more antioxidant protection if the fish oil has been exposed to excessive amounts of oxygen or has become rancid." So i think, krill oil is way better than fish oil. I found this statement at http://krilloil.mercola.com/krill-oil.html and it says

“I formerly recommended that you take fish oil to enhance your intake of omega-3 fats. And high-quality fish oils are certainly great products, with many important health benefits.

But there are drawbacks.

Such as… fish oil is weak in antioxidant content. As you increase your intake of omega-3 essential fatty acids by consuming fish oil, you may actually increase your need for even more antioxidant protection if the fish oil has been exposed to excessive amounts of oxygen or has become rancid.”

So i think, krill oil is way better than fish oil.
