Weâll begin by reviewing how marine organisms are classified by location â either as plankton, nekton, or benthos. Nekton are organisms that spend most of their time in the water column and can swim freely and faster than currents. Examples include whales, most fish, and squid. Plankton are organisms that live in the water
Phytoplankton, also called algae, are producers that photosynthesize, meaning they convert energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and other nutrients in the water into food for themselves. They contribute up to 50% of the world's oxygen to the atmosphere.Some examples of phytoplankton are diatoms and dinoflagellates, which are responsible for seasonal algae blooms. Zooplankton are consumers that eat other plankton. Examples include copepods, krill, daphnia and jelleyfish.They are an important link between primary producers and higher trophic levels.hytoplankton, also called algae, are producers that photosynthesize, meaning they convert energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and other nutrients in the water into food for themselves.
