Impact of ice covers on diel vertical migration of zooplankton in the Arctic marine environment

Diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplanktonis a process of synchronized movement of the organisms from the mesopelagic zone up to the epipelagic zone at night and returning back during the day. DVM is considered to be the largest synchronized diel movement of biomasson the planet. It also acts as a...

Description
Summary:Diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplanktonis a process of synchronized movement of the organisms from the mesopelagic zone up to the epipelagic zone at night and returning back during the day. DVM is considered to be the largest synchronized diel movement of biomasson the planet. It also acts as a biological pump in transferring organic carbon from the surface of the ocean to depth.
