Zooplankton fisheries of the world: A review
@article{Omori1978ZooplanktonFO, title={Zooplankton fisheries of the world: A review}, author={Makoto Omori}, journal={Marine Biology}, year={1978}, volume={48}, pages={199-205} }
About 20 species of zooplankters (copepods, mysids, euphausiids, sergestids, and Scyphomedusae) are commercially fished and utilised as food or feed today. The annual world catch of crustacean zooplankton is probably a little less than 210,000 tons and accounts for 11% of the total crustacean catch in the world. The present status of plankton harvesting in various parts of the world is described. Problems in development of plankton fisheries are discussed.

In this experiment the soil in which clams were reared was turned over periodically to see whether the treatment benefited the growth of the clams, and it was inferred from observations that a few of theClams might have injured their own foot by suddenly closing their shells when frightened by the turning over of the pond soil.

The most urgent task is to develop commercial fisheries among animals at the second trophic level, the zooplankton, the most promising of these are the crustaceans, especially the krill of the antarctic, Euphausia superba, which occupy areas of the ocean south of theAntarctic convergence, in extremely high concentrations.
