Copepod Vertical Migration

Copepod Vertical Migration is a biological phenomenon characterized by the daily, synchronized movement of copepods through the water column, typically involving ascent toward surface waters at night and descent to deeper layers during daylight, as a strategy to balance feeding opportunities with predator avoidance.
