Just Jelly: ecological role of gelatinous zooplankton
NOAA
Ocean Literacy Principles:
OLP#5: The ocean supports a great diversity of life and ecosystems.Overview
In this activity, students will be able to compare and contrast the feeding strategies of at least three different types of gelatinous zooplankton, and explain why gelatinous zooplankton may function at several trophic levels within a marine food web. Given information on the vertical distribution of temperature in a water column, students will be able to make inferences about potential influences on the distribution of planktonic species in the water column.
