Abstract
Plankton includes all those organisms that live suspended in the water column of aquatic ecosystems. Unlike nektons, which swim actively against water currents, plankton are characterized by feeble power of locomotion and drift in the water column at the mercy of currents, winds, and tides. The term “plankton” was coined by Victor Hensen from the Greek word "plankton" meaning drifter or wanderer.
