Calanus finmarchicus (calanoid copepod), Kosterhavet national park, West Coast of Sweden, Sept-2023

Copepods are one of the most abundant animal groups in the world, The feeding current they generate can be seen here #plankton #copepod #marinebiology #tjarnomarinelab

Sea star larvae (most likely Luidia sarsi), Kosterhavet national park, West Coast of Sweden, Sept-2023.

These are the biggest Sea star larvae we have in Swedish waters, and they're super cool! #plankton #marinebiology #tjarnomarinelab #seastar

Actinotrocha (Phoronid/horseshoe worm larvae), Kosterhavet national park, September 2026.

These little guys are some of the funkiest looking (mero)plankton around, and always cheer me up while teaching plankton biodiversity! #plankton #marinebiology #tjarnomarinelaboratory
