Zooplankton Study
(Image 1)
Caption:
This is an example of NSF involvement in a cooperative research project with other government agencies and private industry. In this picture, NSF-supported researchers and researchers from Tracor Incorporated and the Office of Naval Research work together using a 21-frequency sonar with chlorophyll/depth/temperature/conductivity sensors and a water pump to conduct zooplankton studies. The sonar gives readings, in real time, of the size and distribution of the zooplankton. Keeping track of zooplankton can tell the researchers where fish graze and how much they will have to eat.
