2008. A test of food web hypotheses by exploring time series of fish, zooplankton and phytoplankton in an oligo-mesotrophic lake. Limnologica. : 10.1016/j.limno.2008.05.001Mehnera T, Padisak J. A test of food we
Unlike phytoplankton, zooplankton are microscopic animals and can include fish larvae as well as other forms of microscopic life. They do not require light to survive but do feed on phytoplankton which do require light to survive. Stony corals rely heavily on zooplankton to meet their energy requi...
Marine plankton is an important part of marine ecosystem,including mainly phytoplankton and zooplankton. As primary producers in the ocean,phytoplankton converts solar energy into organic energy via photosynthesis,which initiates the circulation of mater
What happens to zooplankton when there is too much phytoplankton? Is oscillatoria phytoplankton or zooplankton? What is the smallest type of phytoplankton? What eats crabs in the coral reef? What are decomposers and are they food consumers?
From tiny zooplankton to filter-feeders like giant larvacean and barnacles to whales, most of the marine food chain depends on phytoplankton. A notable exception lies along deep ocean vents where chemosynthetic bacteria form the base of the food chain. ...
Are phytoplankton the base of the oceanic food chain? Is a coral polyp phytoplankton zooplankton nekton or benthos? Is green algae autotrophic or heterotrophic? How are phytoplankton and zooplankton alike? Is there a difference between freshwater and saltwater phytoplankton?
herbivore zooplanktonsoluble reactive phosphorus (SRP)Lake LuganoSwitzerlandItalyIn Lake Lugano (Switzerland and Italy), temporal variation in the structure of herbivore zooplankton (a shift to greater dominance by large-bodied species and higher biomass) and phosphorus (soluble reactive phosphorus, SRP) ...
Firstly, we analyzed biochemical composition of major potential aquatic (phytoplankton) and terrestrial food sources (t-POM of wetland reed and deciduous tree leaves) available for herbivorous zooplankton. Secondly, we tested how different levels of t-POM affect somatic growth of a model consumer ...

Phytoplankton are the base of almost all marine food chains. The energy locked into the biomass of phytoplankton is the fuel that ultimately powers marine life at all other trophic levels, whether zooplankton, bacteria, jellyfish, viruses, fish, or whales. Energy gets into phytoplankton via photos...
