Yes. Phytoplankton (algae) grow under the ice shelves of Antarctica. Warmer water is affecting the growth of phytoplanktons. Krill (zooplankton) need them to survive. These two are vital links in the food chain of the Antarctic.

Penguins need krill and the fish that feed on krill. Climate change is damaging the food chain in Antarctica and threatening the lives of all the animals there, including the penguins.
