Invisible creatures that are the foundation of all life in the ocean.
They produce 50-70% of the Earth's oxygen. They carry out photosynthesis like land plants, serving as the primary food source in the marine food chain.
Microscopic animals that feed on phytoplankton, serving as the primary food source for small fish, jellyfish, and even giant whales.
They decompose the remains of living organisms and return nutrients to the water. Some can survive without sunlight using chemical energy.
Surviving high pressures, boiling temperatures, or acidic water, it is key to pharmaceutical research and new technologies.
Energy moves from one living creature to another in the marine ecosystem.
