Diel Vertical Migration

Written by

in

Tiny zooplankton complete one of the largest migrations on Earth twice a day.

They are so sensitive to light that they'll move up and down in the water column just based on clouds passing overhead.

Photosynthesizing phytoplankton migrate, too, carrying the carbon dioxide they've accumulated deeper into the ocean and helping sequester it.
