Freshwater phytoplankton is the phytoplankton occurring in freshwater ecosystems.[1] It can be distinguished between limnoplankton (lake phytoplankton), heleoplankton (phytoplankton in ponds), and potamoplankton (river phytoplankton).[2][3] They differ in size as the environment around them changes. They are affected negatively by the change in salinity in the water.[4]
