The majority of them are found in our oceans, but phytoplankton may also be found in lakes, tides pools etc. Phytoplankton are eaten by zooplankton (animal plankton) and other larvae such as fish, crab or lobster larvae, which by the way the larvae is also called plankton, but they would be in the zooplankton category until they grow into juvenile fish, crabs and lobster. Their are also other sea creatures that eat phytoplankton such as sea urchins. Whales that eat plankton such as baleen whales eat zooplankton such as krill.

What do plankton-eat?
Most plankton, known as phytoplankton, (but not all) eat in much the same way as do plants - through photosynthesis, the process by which sunlight is converted into food energy.MorePlanktonic animals mostly eat other plankton, incluing the planktonic plants described above, and smaller animals which are also plankton. The smallest of the plankton can eat bacteria and detritus, but the largest of the plankton are true predators.
