Plankton is a very general term, and is used to describe the tiny, floating organisms in the water. Phytoplankton are plants, and zooplankton are animals. Phytoplankton is usually algae, although zooplankton has many different forms. Zooplankton includes any free-floating animal larvae, some
diatoms, radiolarians, some dinoflagellates, foraminifera, amphipods, krill, copepods, and salps.
