How to use plankton in a sentence?

  1. Luiz Rocha:

    It's a really different environment : It's darker( because the water functions as a filter absorbing light, so the deeper you go, the darker it gets) and colder, there are much fewer corals, and almost no algae( because of the lack of light), so the fish community is very different and most fish at this depth feed on plankton( tiny marine invertebrates that live in the water column).

  2. Lia Siegelman:

    When I saw the richness of the turbulence around the Jovian cyclones, with all the filaments and smaller eddies, it reminded me of the turbulence you see in the ocean around eddies, these are especially evident in high-resolution satellite images of vortices in Earth's oceans that are revealed by plankton blooms that act as tracers of the flow.

  3. Sam Slater:

  4. Chris Bowler:

    Plankton are much more than just food for the whales, although tiny, these organisms are a vital part of the Earth's life support system, providing half of the oxygen generated each year on Earth by photosynthesis and lying at the base of marine food chains on which all other ocean life depends.

  5. Anastassia Miliou:

    With these giant exercises... strain is placed on the entire marine ecosystem, including fish and plankton, because (they) cause intense noise pollution from which marine life cant escape.
