Berdasarkan ukuran
Nannoplankton/ultraplankton/ mikroplankton (<10µ, <30µ, <50µ) Netplankton/mesoplankton (<1mm>60µ) Makroplankton/megaplankton/ megaloplankton (> 1mm) Plankton are also often described in terms of size. Usually the following divisions are used: However, some of these terms may be used with very different boundaries, especially on the larger end of the scale. The existence and importance of nanoand even smaller plankton was only discovered during the 1980s, but they
