Plankton: Pastures of the Ocean

Identifies plankton as a combination of microscopic plants and animals which serves as food for smaller fish and thereby becomes the basis of the ocean food chain. Explains methods used by marine biologists to fertilize the sea so as to increase plankton production and so increase the fish crop., Uses live sequences and microphotography to develop concepts which reveal the importance of plankton in the ecologic structure of the ocean environment and the possibility that plankton may someday become a major source of food for the world's exploding population.
