Estidele

Estidele is a term used in the field of oceanography and marine biology to describe the vertical migration of marine organisms, particularly zooplankton, in response to the tidal cycle. This behavior is driven by the changes in light intensity and water clarity that occur with the rise and fall of the tide. During high tide, when the water is clearer and light penetrates deeper, many zooplankton species migrate upwards to feed. Conversely, during low tide, when the water is murkier and light is more limited, these organisms migrate downwards to avoid predators and conserve energy. Estidele is an important ecological phenomenon as it influences the distribution and abundance of zooplankton, which in turn affects higher trophic levels, including fish and birds. The study of estidele provides valuable insights into the adaptations of marine organisms to their environment and the dynamics of marine ecosystems.
