Diel vertical migration (DVM) is a behavioral phenomenon observed in many aquatic organisms, particularly zooplankton and some fish, where these organisms migrate vertically in the water column on a daily (diel) cycle. Typically, this behavior involves organisms moving to deeper waters during the day to avoid predation and rising to shallower depths at night to feed. During the daylight hours, many of these species go deeper, where light levels are lower and predators are less active.
