Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Macropatchines are aggregations of nekton, which are actively swimming marine animals such as fish, squid, and marine mammals. These aggregations can form for a variety of reasons, such as mating, feeding, or predator avoidance.

Answer: B
 Migratory zooplankton are planktonic organisms that undertake regular vertical migrations in the water column, often on a daily or seasonal basis. These migrations help them to access food and avoid predation.

Answer: C
 Marine snow refers to the shower of organic matter that falls from the surface waters of the ocean to the depths below. This organic matter includes dead and decaying plankton, fecal pellets, and other debris, and it provides an important food source for deep-sea organisms.
