Phytoplankton are consumed by many organisms,
including diverse species of zooplankton.
Zooplankton are free-floating consumers and
include single-celled protozoa, tiny crustaceans,
and the larval stages of species such as mollusks
and fish.
Zooplankton and phytoplankton are consumed by
the nekton, free-swimming marine organisms such
as fish, marine mammals, and penguins, as well as
species on the ocean bottom, including bivalves,
crustaceans, and snails.
