Phytoplankton serve as the base of ocean food webs.

浮游植物是海食物础。

Those phytoplankton do something really incredible.

这些浮游植物作用非常神奇。

In the oceans, cyanobacteria would dominate over other phytoplankton species.

在海中，蓝藻将会主导其他浮游植物。

The phytoplankton trails the edge of the ice and can stretch for nearly fifty kilometers.

浮游植物沿着冰层边缘生长，绵延可达近五十公里。

Okay, so there's a different class of plankton called phytoplankton.

好吧，所以有一种不同浮游生物叫做浮游植物。

There's these microscopic organisms called phytoplankton.

海中有一些微生物，称为“浮游植物”。

So if there's an increase in phytoplankton, it will start to attract larger lifeforms.

因此，浮游植物增多，就会开始吸引更大型生物。

These nutrients help to form phytoplankton -- extremely small organisms that take in carbon.

这些营养物质有助于形成浮游植物——能吸收碳极小生物。

And since the ocean's surface waters generally have an abundance of these resources, phytoplankton are everywhere.

由于海表层水通常拥有丰富这些资源，浮游植物随处可见。

Phytoplankton is one of the biggest resources for food for every single species in the ocean.

海生物主要以浮游植物为食。

There are some phytoplankton, some photosynthetic plankton that also undergo vertical movements.

有一些浮游植物，一些光合作用浮游生物也进行垂直运动。

And we're making sure that this doesn't have any bad effect on the phytoplankton diatoms in the ocean.

我们还要确保这不会对海中浮游植物硅藻造成任何不良影响。

This is perfect for photosynthesis and photosynthesis is dope, Hello phytoplankton productivity!

这非常适合光合作用，而光合作用又是兴奋剂，您好，浮游植物生产力！

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，被称为浮游植物，还有被称为浮游动物小动物。

In summer, the powerful nonstop rays of the sun create a bloom of phytoplankton and microscopic plant life.

夏季时强力而持续太阳光照使浮游植物生长旺盛，而微生植物也很兴旺。

To understand why, we need to look at some of the ocean's most ubiquitous organisms: phytoplankton.

要了解其中原因，我们需要看看海中无处不在生物：浮游植物。

Hunting at these depths, whales consume huge amounts of these phytoplankton predators.

在深海中捕食，鲸鱼吞食巨量浮游植物捕食者。

But these giant creatures just didn’t have enough food to get any giant-er than that.

数百万年前 流变化将海底无数养分冲至海面区 富含营养浮游植物堆 当然吸引了巨量浮游生物聚集。

During the day, phytoplankton use sunlight to turn dissolved carbon dioxide into energy and build their own cells.

浮游植物在白天期间利用阳光将溶解二氧化碳转变为能量，并用来建造自己体内细胞。

Well, a number of things from floating sand, phytoplankton and all sorts of living organisms that aren't just fish.

这有很多因素，比漂浮沙粒，浮游植物以及各种包括鱼在内有机生物体。
