Plankton are not strictly nocturnal; their behavior varies by species and environmental conditions. Some plankton, like certain types of phytoplankton, may have diurnal vertical migration patterns, moving to deeper waters during the day to avoid sunlight and returning to the surface at night to take advantage of light for photosynthesis. Other types of zooplankton may also exhibit similar behaviors based on predator avoidance and feeding strategies. Thus, while many plankton show nocturnal tendencies, it is not a universal trait.
