For example, a lack of healthy
zooplankton populations can trigger harmful algal blooms.
In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion about the global increase in the abundance of gelatinous
zooplankton populations.
Future environmental changes will have different effects on gelatinous
zooplankton populations in different areas.
Influence of physical forcing on planktonic ecosystems and elemental cycling; mesoscale ocean dynamics; primary production; coastal circulation;
zooplankton population dynamics; harmful algal blooms; numerical modeling and data assimilation.

The last question is particularly important because the pyrosomes eat
zooplankton, which also supports
populations of shrimp, crab, mollusks and other filter feeders.
Combining these measurements with estimates of the
populations of algae,
zooplankton, and fish taken from regular net catches, the researchers report that they detected unusual oscillations in the amount of algae in the lake more than a year before the lake's food web shifted.
