For example, the diversity of zooplankton is immeasurable.

例如，物多样性不可估量。

Zooplankton live in the twilight zone.

物生活在微光区。

So first, you really need to appreciate how tiny zooplankton are.

所以首先，你要需要意识到物有多小。

Despite their colossal size, they feed on tiny creatures such as krill and zooplankton.

它们虽然体型庞大，但却以磷虾和物等微小生物为食。

Yes, the zooplankton – tiny little animals in the sea – mistake the microplastics for food and eat them.

，物，即海洋里微小物，错把塑胶微粒当作食物吃掉。

Much of the rest is unattached algae, known as phytoplankton, and tiny animals, known as zooplankton.

而其它大多数独立生长海藻，被称为植物，还有被称为物小物。

Algae need light, so must live near the surface—as must the zooplankton and other animals that need the phytoplankton.

海藻需要光线，所以必须生活在接近海面区域—还有需要植物物和其它物也同样如此。

For instance, scientists studying zooplankton in the Arctic saw that during the long, dark winter months, zooplankton responded to moonlight instead.

例如，研究北极物科学家发现，在漫长黑暗冬季，物反而对月光有反应。

Creatures like zooplankton don't even have what you would consider to be ears.

像物这样生物甚至没有你认为耳朵东西。

25. And that some zooplankton are bioluminescent?

并且有些物发光？

Other species that rely on zooplankton is food remain in good health.

其他依靠物为食物物种仍保持良好健康状况。

There were many fish such as salmon that feed on the zooplankton.

有许多鱼类，例如鲑鱼，以物为食。

30. Some researchers suggest that zooplankton migrate to avoid the Sun's ultraviolet light.

有些研究者认为物迁徙来躲避太阳紫外线。

Lastly, most researchers agree that warmer water temperature affected the quality of the zooplankton, the Auckland food source.

最后，大多数研究员一致认为，水温升高影响了奥克兰食物来源物质量。

Researchers found that zooplankton move up and down in the water by as much as 200 feet just from clouds passing overhead.

研究员发现，物在水中上下移距离相当于从我们头顶 200 英尺地方掠过云层。

32. And we know that some zooplankton have special pigments that protect them from the damage ultraviolet light can cause.

而且我们知道有些物有些特别色素来保护它们免受紫外线伤害。

17. At night, when the Sun no longer illuminates shallower water, zooplankton head back toward the surface.

在晚上，当太阳不再照耀浅层水域，物重回水表面。

16. Zooplankton tend to swim away from sunlight into deeper water where the Sun's rays barely penetrate.

物倾向于远离阳光向太阳光几乎照不到深层水域。

34. Although it takes a lot of energy for the zooplankton to migrate, they conserve energy while floating in deeper, colder water.

尽管物需要很多能量来迁徙，它们在更深层、更冷水中漂时会保存能量。

19. One popular theory is that zooplankton are hiding during the day from visual predators, uh, those animals that hunt by sight.

一种流行理论说物在白天躲避视觉捕食者，呃… … 这些物通常用视力捕食。
