Pseudoplanktonicorganisms are those that attach themselves toplanktonic organisms or other floating objects, such as drifting wood,buoyant shells of organisms such asSpirula, or man-madeflotsam. Examples includegoose barnacles and the bryozoanJellyella. By themselves these animals cannotfloat, which contrasts them with true planktonic organisms, such asVelella and thePortuguese Man o' War, which are buoyant. Pseudoplankton are often found in the guts of filteringzooplankters.[1]
