Phytoplankton serve as the base of ocean food webs.

浮游植是海食网的基础。

Those phytoplankton do something really incredible.

这些浮游植的作用非常神奇。

In the oceans, cyanobacteria would dominate over other phytoplankton species.

在海中，蓝藻将会主导其他浮游植。

The phytoplankton trails the edge of the ice and can stretch for nearly fifty kilometers.

浮游植沿着冰层的边缘生长，绵延可达近五十公里。

Okay, so there's a different class of plankton called phytoplankton.

好吧，所以有一种不同的浮游生叫做浮游植。

There's these microscopic organisms called phytoplankton.

海中有一些微生，称为“浮游植”。

So if there's an increase in phytoplankton, it will start to attract larger lifeforms.

因此，如果浮游植增多，就会开始吸引更大型的生。

These nutrients help to form phytoplankton -- extremely small organisms that take in carbon.

这些营养质有助于形成浮游植——能吸收碳的极小生。

And since the ocean's surface waters generally have an abundance of these resources, phytoplankton are everywhere.

由于海表层水通常拥有丰富的这些资源，浮游植可见。

Phytoplankton is one of the biggest resources for food for every single species in the ocean.

海生主要以浮游植为食。

There are some phytoplankton, some photosynthetic plankton that also undergo vertical movements.

有一些浮游植，一些光合作用的浮游生也进行垂直运动。

And we're making sure that this doesn't have any bad effect on the phytoplankton diatoms in the ocean.

我们还要确保这不会对海中的浮游植硅藻造成任何不良影响。

This is perfect for photosynthesis and photosynthesis is dope, Hello phytoplankton productivity!

这非常适合光合作用，而光合作用又是兴奋剂，您好，浮游植的生产力！

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

而其它大多数是独立生长的海藻，被称为浮游植，还有被称为浮游动的小动。

In summer, the powerful nonstop rays of the sun create a bloom of phytoplankton and microscopic plant life.

夏季时强力而持续的太阳光照使浮游植生长旺盛，而微生植也很兴旺。

To understand why, we need to look at some of the ocean's most ubiquitous organisms: phytoplankton.

要了解其中的原因，我们需要看看海中无不在的生：浮游植。

Hunting at these depths, whales consume huge amounts of these phytoplankton predators.

在深海中捕食，鲸鱼吞食巨量的浮游植捕食者。

But these giant creatures just didn’t have enough food to get any giant-er than that.

数百万年前 流的变化将海底无数的养分冲至海面区 富含营养的浮游植堆 当然吸引了巨量的浮游生聚集。

During the day, phytoplankton use sunlight to turn dissolved carbon dioxide into energy and build their own cells.

浮游植在白天期间利用阳光将溶解的二氧化碳转变为能量，并用来建造自己体内的细胞。

Well, a number of things from floating sand, phytoplankton and all sorts of living organisms that aren't just fish.

这有很多因素，比如漂浮的沙粒，浮游植以及各种包括鱼在内的有机生体。
