That's an interesting question. I would expect that to be fine if the amount added to the tank was reasonable, though. It's listed as a beneficial ingredient for some marine species.

What exact product are you considering?

Thanks for your reply, the krill oil is one I got from a supplier that has products for shrimp and fish farms, they mix it with some other product and let the oil dry out before feeding it, in my case I'd like to make some kind of product similar to polyp booster, I already have dried krill which needs some more grounding to pulverize it a bit more, the krill oil, some spirulina algae in a relly fine powder presentation, some mysis and artemia, also in a fime powder presentation, so when I add the oil to the different powders and then put it in the water, the oil just washes off, so I need something to get the mix done correctly, I'm still looking for the right lecithin presentation, all I can say is that it has to be liquid, maybe some kind of organic presentation so I can be certain that I'm not adding some kind of contamination into the tank...

Soybean lecithin seems to be the source tested and found to be helpful, if that's of interest to you.
