Diel vertical migration reshapes lake ecosystems, impacting fish and plankton.
Diel vertical migration is a common behavior in plankton and fish in ponds and lakes. It involves moving up and down in the water column during the day and night. This behavior helps organisms find the best habitat and food, and avoid predators. Fish also do this migration to find food and stay safe. The interaction between fish and plankton migration affects the food chain in lakes.
