The results help answer the unresolved question of how adjacent microplankton compete.

Conversely, larger response to nearshore conditions was observed in microplankton populations.

The size detection of microplankton and picoplankton was generally better than that of nanoplankton.

Thus, microplankton promoted early feeding but was not sufficient to alter life span and growth during the yolk sac phase.

The short period between both high-flow events was enough for the recovery of microplankton, but not for the metazoan zooplankton.
