细节理解题。根据文章第二段三句“Earlier this month a separate study found that a combination of climate change and industrial fishing is threatening the krill population in Antarctic waters, with a potentially disastrous impact on whales, seals and penguins.”可知“气候变化和工业捕捞的结合正在威胁南极水域的磷虾种群，对鲸鱼、海豹和企鹅有潜在的灾难性影响”。由此可以判断，工业捕鱼和气候变化对某些南极物种来说可能是致命的。C项的“certain Antarctic species”指代“the krill population in Antarctic waters, whales, seals and penguins”。故选C。
