As a result, increased amounts of surface algae left unconsumed by the zooplankton could potentially lead to algal blooms and poor water quality. |
These tanks received a continual turn-over of water pumped from Loch Lomond and were therefore rich in zooplankton. |
The larvae spend several months as floating zooplankton before settling down onto the reef. |
When at sea, they eat zooplankton and other small creatures that rise to the surface at convergence zones. |
Young bluegills eat mainly zooplankton, but as they grow older, they become opportunistic and devour almost anything that fits into their mouths. |
Taking full advantage of the glut, the flower-like polyps of xenia soft corals pulsated as they fed on the zooplankton delivered by the currents. |
