Heterotrophic zooplankton is commonly much more diverse than phytoplankton. Representatives of most animal phyla either belong to the plankton throughout their life or have certain developmental phases in the plankton - hence they are called holo- or meroplankton, respectively. Meroplanktonic larvae do not resemble their parents, but transform into the adult form by metamorphosis (indirect development). Crustacea are present in almost every plankton sample and represent the bulk of its biomass. Besides abundant holoplanktonic representatives of various systematic groups, namely from the Branchiopoda, Copepoda, Mysidacea, and Euphausiacea, crustaceans produce a vast variety of larval forms with many of them bearing specific names. The zoëa larva for example represents the typical hatching form of many marine decapod crustaceans. From the DVD: DAHMS, HANS-UWE (Hongkong); FIEGE, DIETER (Frankfurt a. M.). Marine Plankton.
