Plankton undergo vertical migration, moving from deeper waters to the surface at night and back down during the day.

Phytoplankton are microscopic algae that are responsible for a significant portion of the Earth's oxygen production.

Grazing is the process by which plankton are consumed by larger organisms, such as fish and whales.

Dinoflagellates are a type of plankton that are known for their ability to produce light through bioluminescence.

Planktology is the study of plankton, including their distribution, abundance, and role in marine ecosystems.

Copepods are a type of zooplankton that are known for their ability to filter-feed on smaller organisms.

Reproduction is the process by which plankton produce offspring.

Diatoms are a type of phytoplankton that are known for their ability to form large blooms, which can be visible from space.

Advection is the process by which plankton are transported by ocean currents.

Dinoflagellates are a type of plankton that are known for their ability to produce toxins, which can cause harmful algal blooms.
