In the waters of all the oceans, specifically in the sunlight zone. Phytoplankton produce more oxygen than all the rest of the plants in the world. Plankton is the generic name for small plants and animals that float in the top layers of bodies of water (mostly the oceans but also fresh water lakes).

Plankton is the name given to small organisms that live in free suspension in a water column (fresh or salt).

Marine and freshwater organisms that, because they are unable to move or are too small or too weak to swim against water currents, exist in a drifting, floating state. Plankton is the productive base of both marine and freshwater ecosystems, providing food for larger animals and indirectly for humans, whose fisheries depend on plankton. As a human resource, plankton has only begun to be developed and used. The plantlike community of plankton is called phytoplankton, and the animal-like community is called zooplankton, but many planktonic organisms are better described as protists. Most phytoplankton serves as food for zooplankton, but some of it is carried below the light zone. Zooplankton is used directly as food by fish (including herring) or mammals (including whales), but several links on the food chain usually have been passed before plankton is available for human consumption.
