Description Not Available
The zooplankton population consists of minute
animals living freely in water with limited powers
of locomotion and is more or less drifted passively
by water currents. Almost every major group of
animals, either as adults, larvae or as both has its
representatives in planktonic existence. Many of
the commercially important prawns, mussels,
other shellfishes and finfishes start their life as
plankters. The communities of zooplankton form
the vital intermediary link in the food chain of
the sea both as consumers of the primary
producers and as contributors to the higher trophic
level. Many species are proven indicators of
pollution, water mass, cold, warm, surface or deep
waters, upwelling characteristics and of the
coastal or estuarine environment depending on
the time of their occurrence and the ambient
ecological parameters.
