Description Plankton is vast and diverse group of organism incapable of free
swimming. They drift in the mercy of water current. Plankton is
described as the smallest group of plants and animals in the aquatic
ecosystem. The term „plankton‟ was coined by the Germen founder
of Quantitative Plankton and Fishery Research, Victor Henson in
1887. It is derived from a Greek word „Plano‟ meaning „to wander‟
and it has the same etymological root as „planet‟. They are seen in
both marine and freshwater ecosystems. Planktons are broadly
classified into two major groups „Phytoplankton and Zooplankton‟.
Phytoplanktons are microscopic plant community in the aquatic
environment. They synthesize organic carbon from inorganic
material by the process of photosynthesis. They are considered as
the primary producers in the aquatic ecosystem.
