Tara Oceans Expedition Yields Treasure Trove of Plankton Data (11 of 19)

Caption

Plankton collected in the Pacific Ocean with a 0.1 mm mesh net. This is a mixture of multicellular organisms -- small zooplanktonic animals, larvae and single cell protists (diatoms, dinoflagellates, radiolarians). This material relates to papers that appeared in the May 22, 2015, issue of Science, published by AAAS, regarding the Tara Expeditions.
