Salps and larvaceans filter feed by processing massive quantities of seawater through fine filtration devises. This activity has the effect of concentrating these scarcely abundant phytoplankton within these grazers, which, in turn, are consumed by larger predators. In addition, because the filtration mechanism of salps and larvaceans is so fine, it captures even the smallest nanoplankton, thereby injecting these small producers into the food web.
