When there is a plankton bloom, they feed continuously.
Plankton is a regular meal for different types of fish, and without plankton many fish would die.
The plankton die due to the temperature chnage
about the same amount as sperm i can produce
As plankton die, it sinks to the sea floor, and over many years, a sediment is formed.

Ozone depletion causes plankton to die. These plankton are the ones that stop greenhouse effect.
Animal plankton (aka zooplankton) are omnivores. Plant plankton (aka phytoplankton) are not omnivores. They get their nutrients from the sun much in the way plants do.
From my guess, there has to be plankton in the rivers. I don't know how much, but there is an amount in it since fish and other waterfowl animals live in them, and they depend on the plankton.
