The latter can also act as filters for filter feeding during phytoplankton blooms.

A phytoplankton bloom is a vital trigger for ocean life.

One reason for the success of salps is how they respond to phytoplankton blooms.

Large phytoplankton blooms can be created by supplying iron to iron-deficient ocean waters.

Since 1993, thirteen international research teams have completed ocean trials demonstrating that phytoplankton blooms can be stimulated by iron addition.

Another phytoplankton bloom occurs more to the north near the antarctic convergence, here nutrients are present from thermohaline circulation.

Areas of open water left from ice melt are good areas for phytoplankton blooms.

In some cases a post-hurricane phytoplankton bloom due to increased nutrient availability may perhaps be detectable.

Preliminary tests indicate we'll create a phytoplankton bloom covering half the bay.

In order for zooplankton to have a continuous food supply, the phytoplankton blooms must not occur too far apart.
