Is a process by which CO2 in surface ocean water is transformed by ocean organisms into carbon compounds used to build living matter. unicellular & autotrophic. species composition changes with season; some species may exhibit seasonal polymorphism. important factors controlling community composition:. nutrient availability. herbivory. Plankton . Plankton:. . the mass of mostly microscopic organisms that float or drift freely in the waters of aquatic (freshwater and marine) . environments. (Algae, phytoplankton, zooplankton, jellyfish).. The system should be simple and affordable. Ideally, the system that we design should be easily purchased and fabricated, so that new aquaculture enterprises can begin without requiring a large investment of capital. All parts should preferably be available in a local hardware store, . Mick Follows. How do ocean ecosystem models work?. Applications and links to ‘. omics. -based observations.
