Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Plankton refers to the small and microscopic organisms drifting or floating in the sea or fresh water, consisting chiefly of diatoms, protozoans, small crustaceans, and the eggs and larval stages of larger animals(Oxford dictionary).

The spring bloom is a sudden growth or increase in plankton abundance. It begins around the early spring and continues until late in the spring or sometimes even early in the summer.

One organism that is a consumer of plankton are the snails. One of the commonest snails that eat plankton are the Nerite Snails.
