Differences in the trophic ecology of micronekton driven by diel vertical migration. [PDF]
Limnol Oceanogr, 2019 Many species of micronekton perform diel vertical migrations (DVMs), which ultimately contributes to carbon export to the deep sea. However, not all micronekton species perform DVM, and the nonmigrators, which are often understudied, have different ...

Mesozooplankton and Micronekton Active Carbon Transport in Contrasting Eddies
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Mesozooplankton (June 2015 and September 2017) and micronekton (September 2017) were sampled along the eastern coast of Australia. Depth stratified mesozooplankton and micronekton were collected using a Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental ...
