Zooplankton VS Plankton

[damsels]

Hi bros,

Just like to ask what is the difference between the 2? I seemed to come across these 2 words on the internet but are they the same?

Zooplankton is a type of plankton

Usually, plankton (microscopic organisms), are divided into 2 groups namely zooplankton (microscopic animals) and phytoplankton (microscopic plants)

I read somewhere that there is actually a lot more differences. something to do with Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B, and the classification of it.

anybody does AUSTMAT Bio? it's in the book.

Zoo is meat base like shrimp fries, larvae, pods etc. and plankton is plant/vege base.

Yes, there is a brand called "Sweetwater zooplankton", you can find it in the LFS. It is basically Daphnia, looks like pods.
