FOUND: Korean Daphnia! [Video]

Wish for Korean zooplankton fulfilled! Went to check out Nami Island yesterday, and came across this shallow pond:




Upon closer inspection, it was clear the place was popping with plankton! Check out the short clip below. Watched them zoom around for a bit, then examined a few up close with the naked eye. A couple of them had ~20-30 eggs in their broodsacs.

I'm super happy! :D
