Nanophytoplankton : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nanophytoplankton Nanophytoplankton are particularly small phytoplankton with sizes between 2 and 20 µm. They are the autotrophic part of nanoplankton. Like other phytoplankton, nanophytoplankton are microscopic organisms that obtain energy through the process of photosynthesis and must therefore live in the upper sunlit layer of ocean or other bodies of water. These microscopic free-floating organisms, including algae, and cyanobacteria, fix large amounts of carbon which would otherwise be released as carbon dioxide.〔(phytoplankton ) Dictionary.com〕 ==Nanophytoplankton in the ecosystem== Phytoplankton form the beginning of the food chain for aquatic animals. Zooplankton and krill feed on nanophytoplankton, which are then eaten by whales, seals, birds, fish, squid, and other organisms.〔(News in Science - Phytoplankton implicated in global warming - 27 November 2002 )〕
