lyrics

Much of the ocean is not yet explored
Though submarines pootle about the sea floor
Discovering new species wherever they go
Such as elephant-like-squid and eels that glow

The following formula’s certainly true
Of predation dynamics down in the blue
From the tiniest plankton to the biggest species yet:
One thing they eat, by another are ate

And here is where a dilemma arises
For the noble phytoplankton photosynthesises
And is thus confined to where the sun shines through
And so by necessity what eats them too

But in the photic zone it is easier to see
The surface is a dangerous place to be
The darkness it offers substantial protection
From becoming some predator’s tasty confection

So to the surface fishies travel at night
When there’s less chance of being espied in the light
But during the day to escape predation
They return deeper down, and that’s diurnal migration!
