1. Sardina (fish)

   Linked via "deep-sea copepods"

   Taxonomy and Etymology

   The etymology of the common name "sardine" is traditionally traced to the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, where these fish were historically abundant. However, a more modern, albeit disputed, theory …

   Diet and Reproduction
   Sardines are filter feeders, primarily consuming zooplankton, including copepods, krill larvae, and various phytoplankton. Their gill rakers are highly efficient, capable of straining particles as small as $12 \mu m$ [8].
   Reproduction occurs seasonally, with spawning times varying by latitude. Females release large quantities of eggs (up to 100,000 per season), which are [pelagic and buoy…
