The massive nightly migration occurring beneath the ocean surface
Every night, a staggering 10 billion tons of zooplankton travel from the deep ocean to the surface. This phenomenon, known as Diel vertical migration, is the largest migration on Earth and holds vital clues about our planet's climate and biological rhythms.
Known as Diel vertical migration, this massive undersea journey takes place across every ocean in the world. Each night, an immense biomass of zooplankton ascends to the surface to feed.
Understanding the mechanics of this movement is more than a biological curiosity; it is a key to unlocking scientific mysteries. Researchers believe studying this migration can provide insights into the functioning of biological clocks and the complexities of climate change.
