Capturing quantitative zooplankton information in the sea: Performance test of laser optical plankton counter and video plankton recorder in a Calanus finmarchicus dominated summer situation [PDF]
We compared two optical plankton counters, the Laser Optical Plankton Counter (LOPC) and the Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) for their abundance estimates of Calanus finmarchicus during an early summer situation (June 2008) in two North Norwegian fjords ...

The influence of viral infection on a plankton ecosystem undergoing nutrient enrichment [PDF]
It is increasingly recognised that viruses are a significant active component of oceanic plankton ecosystems. They play an important role in biogeochemical cycles as well as being implicated in observed patterns of species abundance and diversity.

A holographic system for subsea recording and analysis of plankton and other marine particles (HOLOMAR) [PDF]
We report here details of the design, development, initial testing and field-deployment of the HOLOMAR system for in-situ subsea holography and analysis of marine plankton and nonliving particles.

Influence of global environmental Change on plankton
Much has been published on the effects of ocean acidification on plankton since the original Royal Society 2005 report. In addition to direct effects on primary production, it is clear that ocean acidification also has profound consequences for ...

Addressing the impact of environmental uncertainty in plankton model calibration with a dedicated software system: the Marine Model Optimization Testbed (MarMOT 1.1 alpha) [PDF]
A wide variety of different plankton system models have been coupled with ocean circulation models, with the aim of understanding and predicting aspects of environmental change.

Fungal parasitism on diatoms alters formation and bio–physical properties of sinking aggregates
Fungal parasites are found to effectively control the fate of phytoplankton-derived organic matter, potentially enhancing remineralization and reducing sedimentation in freshwater and coastal systems.

Planktonic communities and chaotic advection in dynamical models of Langmuir circulation [PDF]
A deterministic mechanism for the production of plankton patches within a typical medium scale oceanic structure is proposed and investigated. By direct numerical simulation of a simple model of Langmuir circulation we quantify the effects of unsteady ...

PLASTIC: You are plankton and to plankton you shall return
2 figuresToday, I’m going to talk about public enemy number 1, plastic; and more specifically, I’ll tell you about their interaction with marine plankton.
