• Bacterioplankton Plays an Important Role in the Recycling and Remineralization of Nutrients and Minerals in Aquatic Systems.
• Major Food Source for Wide Range of Invertebrates and Filter Feeders such as Sponges, Fan Worms, Tunicates, Bivalves, as well as Corals Including Acropora, Montipora, Pocillopora, Seriatopora and Stylophora.
• Essential in Keeping Non-Photosynthetic Corals and Difficult-to-Feed Species (e.g., Gorgonian sp., Dendronephthya sp.) that Mainly Depend on Filter Feeding of Planktonic Food!
• Critical Food to Larvae which in turn are indispensable Food for Corals and Filter Feeding Organisms.
• Free-Floating Forms Easily Caught and Consumed by Filter Feeders.
