What are zooplankton?

Zooplankton are floating and weakly swimming animals that drift with the movements of water-masses. Along with phytoplankton they form the base of the food chain upon which all aquatic creatures ultimately depend. Zooplankton include many types of animals, from single celled protists and tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans such as copepods, ostracods, mysids and euphausids, to the eggs and larval stages of other crustaceans, mollusks, worms, echinoderms, and fishes. Crustaceans are the main group, making up about 70% of zooplankton species.
