Marine biologist Tierney Thys has released a video titled “Fish Tale: My Secret Life as Plankton” on TEDEd's Youtube Channel. Thys, along with a team of videographers and scientists, produced the video that details the world of plankton through the eyes of a red snapper. The video, at 6 minutes long, is a visually stunning piece of videography, showcasing all the zooplankton, copepods, krill, phytoplankton and other organisms that can be found in just a teaspoon of seawater.
