Answer:

Explanation:

The term for this behavior is "diel vertical migration". In this type of migration, an organism stays at depth during the day, but at night it migrates to the surface level and then again return back to the depth during the day.

The advantage this has is that it helps organism to keep away from visual predators that can could see them during the day.

Note: Zooplankton heterotrophic organism that stays in oceans, sea and fresh water habitats.
