For example, the diversity of zooplankton is immeasurable.

例如，浮游物多样性是不可估量。

Zooplankton live in the twilight zone.

浮游物生活在微光区。

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

们虽然体型庞大，但却以磷虾和浮游物等微生物食。

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

是，浮游物，即海洋里微物，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.

大多数是独立生长海藻，被称浮游植物，还有被称浮游物物。

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

所以首先，你要需要意识到浮游物有多。

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物和物也同样如此。

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

例如，研究北极浮游物科学家发现，在漫长黑暗冬季，浮游物反对月光有反应。

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

像浮游物这样生物甚至没有你认是耳朵东西。

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

浮游物 – 以浮游植物食微物，例如原生物。

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

他依靠浮游物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，以浮游物食。

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

且有很多鸟吃那些以浮游物食鱼。

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， 较高水温会影响浮游物质量，浮游物是 auklets 食物来源。

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

在晚上，当太阳不再照耀浅层水域，浮游物重回水表面。

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，水温升高影响了奥克兰食物来源浮游物质量。

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

他依赖浮游物作食物物种在 Auklets 死亡整个期间都保持着良好健康状况。

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物谜团。

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

浮游物倾向于远离阳光游向太阳光几乎照不到深层水域。

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。
