Weekend #Plankton #Factoid 🦐🦠

One #Hakai video I just posted on was on Diel Vertical Migration of #zooplankton (also motile #phytoplankton). DVM is the largest movement on biomass on the planet, occurring every morning and evening in #lakes and #oceans, as much as 100s of meters (impressive for something a couple mm long). They swim up to feed on algae at night and to avoid visual predators. They also save on energy because deeper cooler water means slower metabolism.

We should ban single-use cigarette filters!

@AskPippa Hi! Do you know if #Hakai is here somewhere?
