Zooplankton grow through a process of molting, where they shed their exoskeletons to accommodate their increasing size. This process allows them to transition through various life stages, from larval forms to adult stages. Growth rates can be influenced by factors such as food availability, temperature, and environmental conditions. Adequate nutrition, mainly from phytoplankton and other microorganisms, is crucial for their development and reproduction.
