Marine Phytoplankton, also known as marine micro algae, is microscopic single-cell plants that are the most abundant

"vegetation" in the ocean. They are capable of turning water and light energy from the sun (phyto means light) into nutrients and oxygen, through a process called photosynthesis. According to NASA, marine algae are responsible for producing up to 90% of the Earth's oxygen supply. Scientists have found that their numbers have declined by about 40% since 1950 and are continuing to decline by about 1% per year. This trend could spell disaster for the entire marine ecosystem. Phytoplankton account for approximately 50% of global primary production, form the trophic base of nearly all marine ecosystems, are fundamental in trophic energy transfer and have key roles in climate regulation, carbon sequestration and oxygen production. (Mli, 2011) Because of their short life cycles, plankters respond quickly to environmental changes, and hence their standing crop and species composition are more likely to indicate thequality of the water mass in which they are found. They strongly influence certain non-biological aspects of water quality (such as pH, color, taste, and odor), and in a very practical sense, they are a part of water quality. Certain taxa often are useful in determining the origin or recent history of a given water mass. Because of their transient nature, and often patchy distribution, however, the utility of plankters as water quality indicators may be limited. PALMER, C.M. 1969. Planktons serve as food on the aquamarine life because of its size. But it will be better if these phytoplanktons will stock in a particular place so, marine creature will go there for food. This apparatus will help us to do these things and filtrates the wastes under the bodies of water.
