phytoplankton

And some phytoplankton or arthropods that eat the bacteria and concentrate metallic salts in a kidney like organ.

When it reaches microscopic size, it competes with phytoplankton as a food source for zooplankton, and enters the food chain.

Ocean ecosystems are delicate, and messing with nutrient flows or phytoplankton populations could have weird downstream effects (literally and figuratively).

Ocean plankton, specifically phytoplankton, accounts for approximately 40% of the total global carbon captured and stored.

There have, however, been limited studies about bioaccumulation of tritium in phytoplankton and how it can move up the food chain [1].

While the adult Crown-of-thorn feeds on coral polyps, its larvae feed on phytoplankton.

Finally some phytoplankton on the front page...if only for a second.

I wonder how hard it would be to do this in ocean algae and phytoplankton and it that could fight global warming.

Primarily by grazing on phytoplankton, zooplankton provide carbon to the planktic foodweb, either respiring it to provide metabolic energy, or upon death as biomass or detritus.

He was able to finally figure out that actually most ocean water was iron deficient (that is to say: iron was the limiting factor in phytoplankton growth).

The upside being universe hasn't yet decided which endgame we may reach, because the phytoplankton aliens of k2-18b have not yet turned on their supercomputer.

While perhaps some are offshore oil rigs [1] - many are arrays of lights used to attract bait fish, phytoplankton, and squid [2] in order to increase commercial fishing yields.

Phytoplankton, in turn, multiply in the presence of fertilizers and other man-made pollutants commonly found in coastal runoff.

Phytoplankton produce 40 per cent of the oxygen in the atmosphere, for example, and 90 per cent of all life is in the oceans.

Phytoplankton may not since it's on the surface (for sunlight access) and at 50% of atmospheric oxygen comes from ocean algae, at least as much as plants.
