#BREAKING: Mauna Loa is erupting.

The lava at this time does not pose a threat to residents, but it is flowing downslope to the north from vents on the Northeast Rift zone.

Calling all zooplankton researchers! @planktongirl16 and I have set up a zooplankton identification Slack workspace for people to send photos of zooplankton they’re processing and for others to help with ID. Email Heather or me if you want to join! (details below) 🔬

This goofy looking thing is a Leptocephalus, specifically, the larvae of eels and other elopomorph fishes. Leprocephali are unusual in several ways. 1) they grow very large; 2) they lack red blood cells; 3) they have ephemeral fang like teeth; 4) they feed on detritus

Neocalanus is also very important in the Gulf of Alaska food chain. On good years, they are abundant, large, and fat. It’s exciting to hear they are returning after a period of above average temps!

Also peep the cute Saphiriniid copepod 🥺

[Washington Sea Grant @WASeaGrant]

Check out this article for some good news! With the return of a type of copepod, there is hope for better ocean conditions after the devastating 'Blob'.
