Extract

Much information concerning the vertical migration of plankton animals has been gained by using nets at different levels in the sea and at different times of the day and night, and also by experimenting with animals in apparatus of various kinds both in the laboratory and in the sea itself. Such observations and experiments have been summarized in the extensive reviews by Russell (1927) and Cushing (1951) who give full lists of references.
