`CLAIMS:
`
`1.
`
`(Previously presented) A method of production of krill oil comprising:
`
`obtaining a krill meal produced by a process comprising cooking and drying fresh krill
`
`and wherein said krill meal has been stored for period of from 1 to 36 months; and
`
`extracting krill oil from said krill meal that has been stored from 1 to 36 months with a
`
`solvent system comprising ethanol to provide a krill oil with from 30% to 60% phospholipids
`
`w/w of said krill oil, from 20% to 50% triglycerides w/w of said krill oil, from 4% to 8% ether
`
`phospholipids w/w ofsaid krill oil and from 100 to 700 ppm astaxanthinesters.

`
`14.
`
`(Previously presented) A method of production of Euphausia superba krill oil
`
`comprising:
`
`a)
`
`obtaining a Euphausia superba krill meal produced by a process comprising
`
`cooking and drying fresh Euphausia superba and wherein said Euphausia superba krill meal has
`
`been stored from 1 to 36 months; and
`
`b)
`
`extracting Euphausia superba oil from said krill meal that has been stored from 1
`
`to 36 months with a solvent system comprising ethanol to provide a Euphausia superba krill oil
`
`comprising 30% to 60% phospholipids w/w of said Euphausia superba krill oil, from 20% to
`
`50% triglycerides w/w of said Euphausia superba krill oil, from 4% to 8% ether phospholipids
`
`w/w of said Euphausia superba krill oil, less than 5% free fatty acids w/w of said Euphausia
`
`superba krill oil, and from 100 to 700 mg/kg astaxanthinesters.
`
`15.
`
`(Previously presented) The method of claim 14, further comprising encapsulating said
`
`Euphausia superba krill oil so that said capsules comprise from 0.2 to 10 grams of said
`
`Euphausia superba krill oil.
`
`16.
`
`Cancelled.
`
`17.

`(Original) The method of claim 14, wherein said Euphausia superba krill oil comprises
`
`less than about 3% lysophosphatidylcholine w/w ofsaid krill oil.
`
`18.
`
`(Original) The method of claim 14, wherein said Euphausia superba krill oil comprises
`
`less than about 2% lysophosphatidylcholine w/w ofsaid krill oil.
