macroplankton

Biology; Marine biology

Planktonic organisms that are 200-2,000 micrometers in size.

nanoplankton

Biology; Marine biology

Planktonic organisms that are 2-20 micometers in size.

megaplankton

Biology; Marine biology

Planktonic organisms that are greater than or equal to 2000 micrometers in size.

mixoplankton

Biology; Marine biology

Planktonic organisms that can be classified at several trophic levels. For example, some ciliates can be photosynthetic but also can ingest other plankton and are heterotrophic.
