Yes.
well they perfer lakes, but you will probably find some in ponds
plankton
You can get it in ponds, lakes and the sea, using a very fine net.
Yes they do. Plankton inhabit oceans, seas and freshwater bodies such as lakes and ponds.
Some insects that eat plankton include water boatmen, backswimmers, and certain species of beetles. They often feed on plankton in freshwater environments such as ponds, lakes, and streams. These insects play a crucial role in controlling plankton populations in aquatic ecosystems.
Plankton play a vital role in lakes and ponds as primary producers and a key component of the aquatic food web. Phytoplankton, the photosynthetic variety, generate oxygen and serve as a fundamental food source for zooplankton and other aquatic organisms. Zooplankton, in turn, feed on phytoplankton and are prey for larger species, helping to transfer energy through the ecosystem. Additionally, plankton contribute to nutrient cycling and water clarity, influencing overall ecosystem health.

At the end of the winter they are most numerous in fresh water. They will cover surfaces of aquatic plants or poles and wooden borders of ponds. If you like to study them you can scrape the brown growth with a flat piece of plastic. You can also use a sponge. For the free living (plankton) species a special fine mesh plankton net is very useful.
Plankton is not algae. Plankton eats algae though.
plankton does not have a prefix
Zooplankton (pronounced ZO A PLANKTON) is plankton
