For example, the diversity of zooplankton is immeasurable.

例如，浮游动的多样性是不可估量的。

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。

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的海藻，被称为浮游植，还有被称为浮游动的小动。

Zooplankton live in the twilight zone.

浮游动生活在微区。

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

是的，浮游动，即海洋微小的动，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，所以必须生活在接近海面的区域—还有需浮游植的浮游动和其它动也同样如此。

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

所以首先，你需意识到浮游动有多小。

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

像浮游动这样的生甚至没有你认为是耳朵的东西。

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

浮游动 – 以浮游植为食的微小动，例如原生动。

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

其他依靠浮游动为食的种仍保持良好的健康状况。

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

例如，研究北极浮游动的科学家发现，在漫长黑暗的冬季，浮游动反而对月有反应。

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。

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的鱼。

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的质量。

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， 较高的水温会影响浮游动的质量，浮游动是 auklets 的食来源。

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的距离相当于从我们头顶 200 英尺的地方掠过的云层。

Other species that rely on zooplankton as food remained in good health throughout the period the auklets were dying.

其他依赖浮游动作为食的种在 Auklets 死亡的整个期间都保持着良好的健康状况。

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，浮游动重回水的表面。

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的谜团。

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

浮游动倾向于远离阳游向太阳几乎照不到的深层水域。
