Larvae: Stage in an animal's lifecycle after it hatches from the egg. Larvae are typically very different in appearance to adults; they are able to feed and move around but usually are unable to reproduce.
Plankton: Aquatic organisms that drift with water movements; may be either phytoplankton (plants), or zooplankton (animals).
