Zooplankton are a crucial link in the marine food chain. By studying these tiny animals, scientists get a sense of the ecosystem’s health—an especially important factor for commercial fishing regions like New England.
Assisted by AI, underwater imaging technologies identify and count zooplankton with remarkable speed and accuracy, giving scientists crucial insights into our changing ocean.
