Phytoplankton and krill are key systems of energy that shape life as we know it. Euphausia superba (Antarctic krill) form the greatest biomass of any other species on Earth. Phytoplankton make every second molecule of oxygen we breathe and are essential food for krill. Krill are food for whales, penguins and fish. Their health and ours is threatened by ocean acidification due to increasing levels of CO2 seeping in from our atmosphere because of our massive consumption of fossil fuels. (Ref. Mary E. White, 2003)

 

Coccoliths are a species of phytoplankton and the most productive calcifying organisms on the planet. They cover themselves with a calcium carbonate shell called a coccosphere. Ref. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccolithophore. 2026-05-26
