No they are biotic; they feed on decaying matter and phytoplankton.

It is a consumer. It feeds on particles.
phytoplankton are autotrophs and zooplankton are heterotrophs
You catch zooplankton by algae.
Zooplankton is an animal. Its included in the food chain.
There are two types of zooplankton. Permanent and holoplankton
What different categories can plankton be placed into?
Most zooplankton are microscopic, but jellyfish are a type of large zooplankton. If you go to Key Largo, Florida, you will have no trouble finding jellyfish.
Abiotic factors in the epipelagic zone of the ocean include sunlight, temperature, dissolved oxygen levels, and salinity. Biotic factors in this zone consist of phytoplankton, zooplankton, small fish, and marine mammals. These factors interact to create a complex ecosystem where sunlight drives photosynthesis by phytoplankton, which forms the base of the food chain supporting higher trophic levels.
they eat diffeint foods
the niche of the zooplankton is providing filter feedings for other organisms
