Plankton... November 25, 2013

Plankton is important to the marine food web because is it a major food source for all organisms. The two main types of phytoplankton are diatoms and dinoflagellates. The two main types of zooplankton are holoplankton and meroplankton. Plankton is beneficial because phytoplankton can produce it's own food, both are a major food source for marine life, and they are a large portion of the food web. This effects daily life because we eat the animals that eat plankton.
