These zooplankton, no bigger than grains of rice, are the whale's lifeline. Only about 370 of these massive creatures remain. For decades, tracking the tiny plankton meant sending research vessels ...

Find the level at which the plankton are in the water column, and you’ll probably find panfish as well. Zooplankton propel themselves with tiny appendages. Some move in short, quick hops ...

However, when the phytoplankton die, marine bacteria can eat their rotting carcasses and a lot of the captured carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. That’s where the zooplankton ...

This explosion in plant matter is followed by a wave of grazing by animal plankton, or zooplankton. These animals are mostly tiny and include the embryonic forms of all kinds of creatures from ...

Plankton live in the top few metres of ocean. These algae (phytoplankton) and animals (zooplankton) are transported by ocean currents as they do not actively swim. Some data suggest that current ...
