Plankton:
Phytoplankton (from Greek phyton or plant), algae that live near the water surface where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis
Zooplankton (from Greek zoon or animal), small protozoa, crustaceans, jellyfish and various other animals that feed on other plankton. Some of the eggs and larvae of larger animals, such as fish, crustaceans, and annelids, are included here.
Bacterioplankton, bacteria and archaea, which play an important role in absorbing nutrients dissolved in the water.
