Plankton are a key component in marine food webs and are vulnerable to climate-driven changes. Their phenology, distribution, and body size influence the biological carbon pump and higher trophic interactions. Plankton imaging enables high-frequency observations of community composition and size structure, but operational workflows for processing, validating and publishing large in situ image collections remain limited. This w...

Phytoplankton are fundamental components of marine ecosystems and play a critical role in global biogeochemical cycles. Efficient monitoring of marine phytoplankton is crucial for assessing ecosystem health, forecasting harmful algal blooms and sustainable marine management. The integration of high-throughput imaging sensors like FlowCam technology with artificial intelligence (AI) for image recognition has revolutionized phyt...
