For example, the diversity of zooplankton is immeasurable.

例如，浮游动多样性是量。

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

它们虽然体型庞大，但却以磷虾和浮游动等微小生为食。

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

所以首先，你要需要意识到浮游动有多小。

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

而其它大多数是独立生长海藻，被称为浮游植，还有被称为浮游动小动。

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

是，浮游动，即海洋里微小动，错把塑胶微粒当作食吃掉。

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—还有需要浮游植浮游动和其它动也同样如此。

Zooplankton live in the twilight zone.

浮游动生活在微光区。

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

像浮游动这样生甚至没有你认为是东西。

Zooplankton – microscopic animals such  as protozoa that feed upon phytoplankton.

浮游动——诸如原生动这样微小动，以浮游植为食。

They say, oh boy, that zooplankton… just don't even bring it up with me.

他们说，哎呀，那个浮游动啊… … 千万别跟我提起这个，我简直… … 我简直… … 对，我连谈都想谈。

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

例如，研究北极浮游动科学家发现，在漫长黑暗冬季，浮游动反而对月光有反应。

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

其他依靠浮游动为食种仍保持良好健康状况。

And there were many birds that eat those fish that feed on zooplankton.

而且有很多鸟吃那些以浮游动为食鱼。

They're part of a diverse team of gelatinous zooplankton, zooplankton being animals that drift in the ocean.

它们属于多样化胶状浮游动群体，浮游动指是在海洋中漂流动。

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

有许多鱼类，例如鲑鱼，以浮游动为食。

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

最后，大多数研究人员一致认为，水温升高影响了奥克兰食来源浮游动质量。

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

最后， 大多数研究人员都认为， 较高水温会影响浮游动质量，浮游动是 auklets 食来源。

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

在晚上，当太阳再照耀浅层水域，浮游动重回水表面。

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

研究人员发现，浮游动在水中上下移动距离相当于从我们头顶 200 英尺地方掠过云层。

For over a century now, researchers have been trying to solve a mystery about zooplankton.

一百多年以来，研究者一直在尝试解开浮游动谜团。
