Coccolithophores, among which Emiliania huxleyi (E. huxleyi) is the most abundant and widespread species, are considered to be the most productive calcifying organism on earth. E. huxleyi often forms massive blooms in temperate and sub-polar oceans, and in particular at continental margins and shelf seas - more at mussels-1665863_1920 Southern Ocean temperature (SOSE) - click on the image to see the movie by Uriel Zajaczkovski; http://pordlabs.ucsd.edu/uriel/
