Phytoplankton: Primary Producers | Diatoms.They dominate the temperate and polar oceans. Typical size is about 30 micrometers. They contribute about 60 per cent of the primary productivity in the oceans. | Diatoms1 diatoms2 |

Coccolithophores.They dominate in regions of moderate turbulence and nutrients such as mid-latitudes in late spring in subpolar regions and in equatorial regions. Contributing about 15 per cent of the average oceanic phytoplankton biomass to the oceans | Coccolithophores1 coccolithophores |
Amanda | Macarena | |
Cyanobacteria.Typical size is about 1 micrometer in diameter. The most common are prochlorococcus and synechoccis. | Cyanobacteria1 cyanobacteria2 |
Walid | Alex | |
Dinoflagellates.They tend to dominate in regions of low turbulence and nutrients, such as oceanic areas in late summer. Sizes range from 30 micrometers for some marine species up to 2,000 micrometers (2 mm) for Noctiluca. | Dinoflagellates | Pedro | Begoña | |
Zooplankton: primary consumers The phytoplankton are eaten by the smallest floating animals, the zooplankton. They range in size from single-celled organisms to larger multi-celled organisms. Small zooplankton are eaten by larger zooplankton. The Plankton Chronicles series http://www.planktonchronicles.org/en |
