Diatoms (Diatomeen-Kieselalgen) and radiolaria are the first link in the food chain of marine life. The outer 'shells' of the diatoms can withstand forces of several hundred micronewtons (equivalent to several hundred tonnes per square metre) and protect the algae against a broad spectrum of organisms (zooplankton) which try to break them up.
