"This is a planktic foraminifer called Neogloboquadrina dutertrei releasing gametes while in culture. We captured this video during our summer culture season on Catalina Island in 2013. This particular specimen had a very explosive gamete release! The shell above is approximately 300 microns in length (longest dimension). For comparison, the average human hair is 100 microns in diameter." | "This is a planktic foraminifer called Neogloboquadrina dutertrei releasing gametes while in culture.
