The world of plankton.

Most whales feed on plankton.

They're also harmless plankton feeding animals.

Whales feed on plankton and small fish.

He dreams of coral reefs and plankton.

Talk about more plastic bags than plankton.

Fish Tale My Secret Life as Plankton

It was recently dragged for plankton by scientists, and they found six times as much plastic as plankton.

Plankton comes from the Greek planktos for wandering

It is the big cats, and it's the plankton.

I have a flask that has bioluminescent plankton in it.

Conodonts evolved teeth to help with ingesting plankton. 530 MYA

That's bad news for coral reefs and oxygen producing plankton.

The plankton is full of surprises when it comes to sex.

But since we ate all the oysters and we ate all the fish that would eat the plankton, there's nothing to eat the plankton and there's more and more of it, so it dies of old age, which is unheard of for plankton.

However, nobody knew how much G forces common zoo plankton could survive.

I floated through the world of plankton, searching for tiny algae to eat.

Then the plankton feeders, these little damselfish, the little animals floating in the water.

Now, how do we analyze samples like this one that contain more plastic than plankton?

Some will spend their whole lives in the plankton, but others, like me, move on.

And the black rock is the sediment on the sea bottom in the absence of plankton.

Some say it's not population decline, it might be a change in the distribution of plankton.

The plankton and the plankton eaters, you know, these are the little herring fish that go through the water column with their mouths open, feeding indiscriminately and just lapping up this brown pudding of toxic stuff.

I've brought along some bioluminescent plankton in what is undoubtedly a foolhardy attempt at a live demonstration.

Here in the plankton, there's more than one way to get your genes into the next generation.

And down there, you find that the water is very clear, extremely clear, because there's hardly any plankton.

This is some shot, by Dr. Mike Latz at Scripps Institution, of a dolphin swimming through bioluminescent plankton.

I showed him and Maria a zooplankton trawl from the gyre north of Hawaii with more plastic than plankton.

It runs down the rivers, and it feeds the plankton, the little microscopic plant cells in the coastal water.

My fellow plankton came in all sizes, from tiny algae and bacteria to animals longer than a blue whale.

Here among the plankton, the food web is so tangled and complex, even scientists don't know who eats whom.

Good land's gotta be guarded the way they guard the waste disposal plants and Soylent factories and the plankton ships.

The dolphins eat the fish that have PCBs from the plankton, and those PCBs, being fat soluble, accumulate in these dolphins.

So we have to take these small plastics out, but then we wouldn't want to take the important plankton out as well.

And yet, if you look at the whale shark, which is the other plankton eating large shark, its diversity is much greater.

So our thought was this is a simple thinking process, but ... obviously the plankton, the planktivores, and that's about as far as we got.

It's been suggested that these sharks would make fantastic indicators of climate change, as they're basically continuous plankton recorders, swimming around with their mouth open.

And they are thought to be able to filter a cubic kilometer of water every hour and can feed on 30 kilos of zoo plankton a day to survive.

And as you go down, they're catching all kinds of plankton, bumping into, you know, little wisps of life that are the food for the planktivores, the herring kind of fish.

And fertilizers and pesticides are flowing into the bay from the golf course the pesticides killing all the larvae and little animals, fertilizer creating this beautiful plankton bloom and there's your pea soup.

We see the base of the food chain, the plankton, the small things, and we see how those animals are food to animals in the middle of the pyramid, and on so up this diagram.

And sometimes you can see it even closer than that, because the heads on ships that's toilets, for any land lovers that are listening are flushed with unfiltered seawater that often has bioluminescent plankton in it.

This conversation with Governor Henry C. Santini is brought to you by Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow highenergy vegetable concentrates and new, delicious Soylent Green the miracle food of highenergy plankton gathered from the oceans of the world.

As these chemicals and heavy metals accumulate in the food chains, starting with the plankton, the foundations of all life, it goes all the way up to the big fish, the ones we catch, the ones we put in our plate.

The chalk itself's composed by plankton which has fallen down from the sea surface onto the sea floor, so that 90 percent of the sediment here is skeleton of living stuff, and then you have that millimeter thick red layer, and then you have black rock.
