Can different color light attract zooplankton?

Yes, different color light can attract zooplankton, as they are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light. Research has shown that certain colors, particularly blue and green, can be more effective in attracting them due to their natural phototactic behaviors. This attraction can influence their distribution in the water column, impacting ecological interactions and feeding patterns. Thus, the use of colored lights can be an effective tool in studying or harvesting zooplankton.
