FA from 2005, has some 1c issues, and some copyediting needs and some short paragraphs/sections. 10 images used in the article, could use a pass through of an image review for those. The lede/intro of the article fails WP:LEAD - it is a bit too short and does not adequately summarize the entire article and function as a standalone introduction and summary to the article's contents. -- Cirt (talk) 22:39, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, lots of unsourced info. First section after the intro is very short and unsourced. (And why do we have an article on West Wind Drift but not East Wind Drift?) Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 03:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreeing, needs some expansion and a lot more buffing up on the sourcing. "Biomass and production" has only one citation in the beginning of it, "Geographical distribution" has none, "Bioluminescence" needs a lot more, and the entire "Food" section and subsections need better sourcing.  • ɔ   ʃ   →  14:56, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
