Importance of Phytoplankton in The Sea
INTRODUCTION
Phytoplankton are tiny, drifting plants which inhabit the Earth's oceans; they
are usually too small to be seen by the naked human eye but can be seen
as a green discoloration of the water when drifting in large numbers. This
discoloration of the water is due to the chlorophyll present in the
phytoplankton cells. Phytoplanktons have many species and form the
foundation of the marine food chain.
This study may give more useful information to the individual to be able
them to know that Plankton inhabit oceans, seas and lakes. Local
abundance varies horizontally, vertically and seasonally. The primary
cause of this variability is the availability of light. All plankton ecosystems
are driven by the input of solar energy .

Summary
The study was made to know the importance of phytoplankton on our seas.
Using the descriptive method and the survey questions I refer that
phytoplankton are not yet really familiar because based on my respondents
few of them answer my questionnaires properly because they are not
familiar. Therefore, the researcher was able to know that phytoplanktons
are important because they contribute a very important role in our seas.
They are a key food item in both aquaculture and mariculture.
Both utilize phytoplankton for the feeding of the animals being
farmed.
