Abstract

PHYTOPLANKTON AND GLOBAL CARBON CYCLE. Scientists around the world believe that phytoplankton, although microscopic, have a large role in the global carbon cycle. Various research results show that the net primary productivity of all phytoplankton in the sea is almost as large as the net primary productivity of all plants on land. Phytoplankton through the process of photosynthesis absorbs 40-50 PgC / year from the atmosphere. Also, phytoplankton is known to be responsible for transporting carbon from the atmosphere to the seafloor through the carbon biological pump mechanism. Phytoplankton from the coccolithophores group is known to play a role in the sequestration of carbon on the seabed through the carbonate pump mechanism. The mechanism is capable of sequestering carbon for thousands of years on the seabed in the form of sedimentary rocks (limestone).

Abstract

Physalia physalis is one of the jellyfish believed to be responsible for a significant proportion of jellyfish attack cases in the world. As one of the most dangerous members of the Cnidarian in the sea, P. physalis has a sting that can paralyze their prey. To humans, the sting can cause cardiotoxic, neurotoxic, musculartoxic, and hemolytic effects. P. physalis has different biological characteristics than most organisms. For example, an individual of P. physalis actually is a colony consisting of four groups of individuals who have different structures and functions. The arrangement of the colony has a complex structure and shows a polymorphism. P. physalis is a pleustonic organism because they live on the surface of the water. P. physalis still leaves many mysteries to scientists. For example, the life cycle of a P. physalis is not yet fully known. Besides, the diversity of P. physalis also still leaves questions among scientists. Some believe that P. physalis is monotypic, while others suspect there is cryptic diversity. Therefore, the study of P. physalis is very interesting, especially under the issue of climate change. Many scientists believe that jellyfish get benefit from increasing sea temperatures, so the population is predicted to increase. The high population of P. physalis threatens the sustainability of fish stocks in the ocean, mainly due to P. physalis are productive predators of fish larvae. This paper aims to provide information on the biological aspects of P. physalis, which are still limited in Indonesia.
