Upwelling zones often produce dense plankton blooms that attract filter-feeding giants.
Megamouth sharks rely on dense aggregations of plankton to make filter feeding energetically viable. Without concentrated swarms, filtering enough prey to sustain their mass would be inefficient.

The paradox is extreme: survival of a multi-ton vertebrate hinges on organisms smaller than grains of sand assembling in sufficient density. Sparse prey would render its enormous mouth useless.
This dependence ties megamouth survival directly to ocean productivity patterns influenced by climate, currents, and nutrient cycles, linking microscopic ecology to megafaunal persistence.
