The role and importance of bacterioplankton are largely unknown, because of poorly defined taxa and a basic lack of core census information [233].

Phytoplankton, which live close enough to the water's surface to perform photosynthesis — critical to maintaining oxygen in Earth's atmosphere — form the base of the marine food web.4 Although phytoplankton are microscopic, they can be seen from satellites when they grow in a concentrated area (bloom) on the ocean's surface.5 Zooplankton, which feed on phytoplankton, and bacterioplankton, which recycle nutrients in the water, make up the next levels of the web.4
