Upwelling Zones and Euphausia Tenera

The Euphausia Tenera is a Zooplankton in which holds a unique characteristic trait with in its habitat of the Upwelling Zone. The Tenera has the second longs depth variant of major zooplankton within the Upwelling Zone. The Tenera move from a depth of about 320 meters during the day to a depth of 100 meters during the night.

This proves that the Upwelling Zone is a especially unique marine ecosystem. As organism and Biomasses are able to use the variability in depth to survive and live in different levels of the habitat. Making it prime for marine life.
