When boxfish are young, they typically feed on small crustaceans, algae, and tiny invertebrates found in their marine environment. Young boxfish have a diet that includes zooplankton, small shrimp, copepods, and other small organisms. As they grow, their diet may evolve, and…

Seasonal variations in the zooplankton and ichthyoplankton community composition for the near-shore environment of the Falkland Islands with Rhian Taylor who submitted a digital poster #SBSPGR24

Actually I wanna talk about these things because I’m pretty sure they’re all zooplankton right

🥶 The 1°C coldroom at IMAS in Hobart is currently home to probably the largest collection of live Southern Ocean zooplankton outside of #Antarctica . (🧵1/6)

9. Jellyfish

Gelatinous zooplankton are far too squishy to wear pronoun pins. But jellyfish do tend to get namechecked on this sort of list due to their status as both sequential hermaphrodites (like clownfish) and simultaneous hermaphrodites. (In the former case, an organism

An #OhioStateResearch analysis of zooplankton in western Lake Erie shows that their biomass and seasonal behavioral patterns have been drastically altered by human-driven changes in water temperature and food webs. news.osu.edu/in-lake-erie-c…

How does the diet selection of omnivorous invertebrates change with food densities? In our new study by Varsha Rani et al, we studied an invasive mysid and showed a shift from zooplankton to a smaller and less profitable microalga once it is present in sufficient amounts.

Salp chains

Salps can grow and reproduce VERY quickly when conditions are right. They are one of the fastest growing multicellular animal on Earth.

Salps are also big zooplankton.

As a result of their size and number, a whole lot of water gets filtered and the poop that…

Striped Indian mackerels open their cavernous mouths as they swim, sieving zooplankton with gill rakers like a net.

A ferocious plankton predator. Found in my Plymouth sample, this 2 mm long hyperiid amphipod with its insect-like eyes and grappling limbs preys on zooplankton like copepods and medusae. Imagine yourself just 3 mm in length and being face to face! ZEISS Microscopy

🥳🥳Successful deployment of the first CNR-ISMAR Biogeochemical Argo nke Instrumentation #Jumbo float in the Ionian Sea during the #PIONEER2023 cruise on board of CNR Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche R/V #GaiaBlu ! The float will acquire 0-2000m profiles of physical & biogeochemical variables including zooplankton.

Put a flashlight in an upside down bucket, submerge in the ocean...get a whole lot of fun zooplankton to photograph. #iNaturalist
