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，被称为浮游植物，还有被称为浮游动物小动物。

In a 2017 study out of Sweden, researchers exposed a zooplankton called Daphnia magna to a bunch of plastic nanoparticles.

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

，浮游动物，即海洋里微小动物，错把塑微粒当作食物吃掉。

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—还有需要浮游植物浮游动物和其它动物也同样如此。

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

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

而且我们知道有些浮游动物有些特别色素来保护它们免受紫外线伤害。
