Iain Suthers (UNSW) Zooplankton include the microscopic animals that link the ocean's single-celled algae and our fisheries, but it is a complex link. Huge changes in fish production may result from subtle changes in zooplankton production. The size distribution of zooplankton is a practical way to investigate this problem. This relatively simple size-based ecosystem will be integrated with the much larger sizes of krill, squid and pelagic fish. For the first time, the links between open ocean production and coastal fisheries of south eastern Australia will be established. This will inform environmental assessments and ecosystem sustainability, including the viability of super-trawlers in Australian waters.
