“They get their nutrition from planktonic organisms brought in on the sluggish tides where the caves connect with the ocean.”

“This bacterial strategy is reasonable, since the above-mentioned advantage would be lost if the planktonic cell had peritrichous flagella.”

“The depth is recognized as that of the lower photic zone, the reproductive depth for planktonic foraminifera.”

“These regions of high productivity promote the development of plankton, which feeds planktivorous fish such as anchovies.”

“These species are small-bodied, cold water species that are generalist feeders on planktivorous zooplankton and benthic organisms.”

“Moreover, dense populations of planktivorous fish are expected to feed selectively on larger prey.”

“Finally, coral reef POM constitutes a source of OM for planktonic invertebrates and planktonophagous fish.”
