For example, the diversity of zooplankton is immeasurable.

例如，浮游动物的多样性是不可估量的。

They're part of a diverse team of gelatinous zooplankton, zooplankton being animals that drift in the ocean.

们是" 凝胶状浮游生物" 这个家族的一份子，浮游生物指的是海洋中漂浮的动物。

Productive areas attract zooplankton, and that in turn attracts fish.

这些多产地区能够吸引浮游生物，并反之吸引鱼类。

Here, your light-sensitive eyes take in a buffet of small crustaceans and gelatinous zooplankton.

这里，你那双对光敏感的眼睛看到的是充满小型浮游生物和胶状浮游生物的餐。

Despite their colossal size, they feed on tiny creatures such as krill and zooplankton.

们虽然体型庞，但却以磷虾和浮游动物等微小生物为食。

Polyps look a bit like underwater flowers, using their tentacles to catch and eat zooplankton.

珊瑚虫看起来有点像水中花，们用触手来捕食浮游生物。

Much of the rest is unattached algae, known as phytoplankton, and tiny animals, known as zooplankton.

而多数是独立生长的海藻，被称为浮游植物，还有被称为浮游动物的小动物。

In a 2017 study out of Sweden, researchers exposed a zooplankton called Daphnia magna to a bunch of plastic nanoparticles.

在2017瑞典的一项研究中，研究人员将一种水蚤暴露在塑料纳米颗粒中。

Yes, the zooplankton – tiny little animals in the sea – mistake the microplastics for food and eat them.

是的，浮游动物，即海洋里微小的动物，错把塑胶微粒当作食物吃掉。

Algae need light, so must live near the surface—as must the zooplankton and other animals that need the phytoplankton.

海藻需要光线，所以必须生活在接近海面的区域—还有需要浮游植物的浮游动物和动物也同样如此。

30. Some researchers suggest that zooplankton migrate to avoid the Sun's ultraviolet light.

有些研究者认为浮游动物迁徙来躲避太阳的紫外线。

Plants and plantlike plankton are called phytoplankton, while animals and animal-like plankton are called zooplankton.

植物型或类植物型的浮游生物被称作浮游植物，而动物型或类动物型的浮游生物叫做浮游动物。

32. And we know that some zooplankton have special pigments that protect them from the damage ultraviolet light can cause.

而且我们知道有些浮游动物有些特别的色素来保护们免受紫外线的伤害。

For over a century now, researchers have been trying to solve a mystery about zooplankton.

一百多以来，研究者一直在尝试解开浮游动物的谜团。

25. And that some zooplankton are bioluminescent?

并且有些浮游动物是发光的？

18. Now, why would light cause zooplankton to expend all that energy and migrate?

现在为什么光会使浮游生物将所有能量花费在迁徙中呢？

17. At night, when the Sun no longer illuminates shallower water, zooplankton head back toward the surface.

在晚上，当太阳不再照耀浅层水域，浮游动物重回水的表面。

34. Although it takes a lot of energy for the zooplankton to migrate, they conserve energy while floating in deeper, colder water.

尽管浮游动物需要很多能量来迁徙，们在更深层、更冷的水中漂浮时会保存能量。

19. One popular theory is that zooplankton are hiding during the day from visual predators, uh, those animals that hunt by sight.

一种流行理论说浮游动物在白天躲避视觉捕食者，呃… … 这些动物通常用视力捕食。

We're already finding that there's a lot of microplastics in the sea and that some of these microplastics are actually being ingested by the zooplankton that live there.

我们已经在海洋中找到量塑胶微粒，而且我们发现在这些海域里生存的浮游动物已经摄入了这种塑胶微粒。
