Planteplankton
Planteplankton er små alger og svampe der flyder i vandet.
Planteplankton er den ene af to hovedtyper plankton, den anden er dyreplankton.
En tredje gruppe gruppe er bakterieplankton, der spiller en stor rolle for omsætningen af især opløste organiske stoffer i de frie vandmasser, som udskilles af planteplanktonet.
