网页Two techniques are normally used to identify the meroplankton of fish, crustaceans and other marine life: (1) rearing eggs collected in the field, or eggs artificially fertilized in a tank, and following the developmental stages; and (2) following the developmental series of field-collected larvae to juveniles.

网页OVERVIEW. Students will use microscopes to observe and identify phytoplankton and zooplankton. CONCEPTS. Plankton are the mostly microscopic plants and animals that drift in the currents. Plant plankton is called “phytoplankton,” while animal plankton is called “zooplankton.” Plankton form the basis of life in the sea. MATERIALS.
Phytoplankton Identification Gallery - UCSC

Phytoplankton List - UCSC
网页This Phytoplankton Identification page is affiliated with CeNCOOS and HABMAP, and is maintained by the Kudela Lab at the University of California Santa Cruz. Details about site history, funding, and sources of information and images can be found here.
LUMCON's Guide to Phytoplankton – An online taxonomic guide
网页This Guide is designed both for those needing help in identifying phytoplankton species, as well as experienced taxonomists. It offers several avenues to find a particular species of interest. Once your species of interest is located, you will be taken to an Organism page that lists taxonomic details about that species.
Molecular and morphological methods for identifying plankton: …
网页2009年7月31日 · Precise identification of species is critical for the study of biogeography of plankton and for applying laboratory culture results to the same organism in situ. Traditionally, identification has been based on knowledge of morphological traits transmitted from generation to generation of planktologists in …
网页Phytoplankton (‘phyto’ = plant; ‘planktos’ = made to wander) are single celled marine algae, some of which are capable of movement through the use of flagella while others drift with currents.
ID Leaflets for Plankton - International Council for the …
网页ID Leaflets for Plankton provide practical taxonomic keys, relevant ecological information, and detailed references for the identification of major plankton species and groups in the ICES Area. They are written and peer-reviewed by experts in the field.
网页The most important phytoplankton that are presently recognized are those 2 -20 µm in size, which are classified as nannoplankton. The major nannoplankton size groups in the oceans are the diatoms and the dinoflagellates, both unicellular form s of phytoplankton. These organisms may or may not be visible with light microscopy.
