The ratio is unknown as the 1999 research report of 6:1 ratio (plastic:plankton) has been discredited for not accurately measuring plankton physically and throughout the water surfaces of the planet. We do know that there is a problem with pollution in our oceans and that it is affecting the marine ecosystem. The plankton species has dropped 40% in population over the past 60 years. The reasons why this is critical for ocean life and human life are;
1. Plankton is the bottom of the marine ecosystem's food chain, and without it, marine life would no longer sustain.
2. Plankton absorbs 1/3 of the sunlight hitting the water surfaces. The less plankton there is, the more sunlight absorbed by the water surface, essentially rising the temperature and changing the environments for species, some of which cannot sustain in high temperatures.
3. Plankton also absorbs carbon dioxide and produces HALF of the planets oxygen. This is obviously the critical dependance on human life.

because important
Why are plankton so important to the fishing industry?
a plankton's main purpose in life is to steal a hamburger
Why is plankton so important to fishing industry?
Plankton is a regular meal for different types of fish, and without plankton many fish would die.
What is the most important animal in the ocean?

it's important because then we can see how they help us
Does plankton eat other plankton?
Yes, some plankton are carnivorous and feed on other smaller plankton species. These plankton are often referred to as zooplankton and play an important role in marine food webs by consuming phytoplankton and smaller zooplankton.
What is ratio of gauge to mil in plastic thickness?
The ratio of gauge to mil in plastic thickness is 1 gauge = 0.1 mil. This means that for every 1 gauge increase, the thickness increases by 0.1 mils.
Why are plankton important to many organisims in the sea?
Because these organisms feed on them
What is blow ratio in blow molding?
Blow ratio in blow molding refers to the ratio of the parison (hollow tube of plastic) diameter to the final container diameter. It is an important parameter that affects the wall thickness distribution and mechanical properties of the molded container. A higher blow ratio results in thinner walls and better material distribution in the final part.
Does zoo plankton algae?
Plankton is not algae. Plankton eats algae though.
What is the prefix of plankton?
plankton does not have a prefix
