Marine protists are highly diverse, have a fundamental impact on biogeochemical cycles (particularly, the carbon cycle) and are at the base of the marine trophic networks as part of the plankton. Phototrophic marine protists located in the photic zone as phytoplankton are vital primary producers in the oceanic systems.
Many of the protist species classified into the supergroup Excavata are asymmetrical, single-celled organisms with a feeding groove “excavated” from one side. This supergroup includes heterotrophic predators, photosynthetic species, and parasites. Its subgroups are the diplomonads, parabasalids, and euglenozoans.
Foraminifera (forams for short) are large protists that design their outer shells, called tests, out of calcium carbonate. They use long thin extensions, called reticulopodia, to catch their prey ...

Ocean chlorophyll concentration as a proxy for marine primary production. Green indicates where there are a lot of phytoplankton, while blue indicates where there are few phytoplankton. – NASA Earth Observatory 2019. Marine primary production is the chemical synthesis in the ocean of organic compounds from atmospheric or dissolved carbon dioxide.
