Any details? Which "pelagic sea birds"? Which "whales"? Species? Numbers? 
Rather than a terribly superficial statement?

Very unlikely scenario.

Rather than negative climate impacts or human fishing scenarios causing an 80% 
decline of Krill, it is more likely that the massive expansion of whale 
populations are depleting the Krill biomass.

We are observing pelagic sea bird declines and there is a correlation where 
whale populations are increasing.
