| As for meroplankton and pelagic fish data, it did not cover the lower estuary. |

| Organisms that reside in the plankton for only part of their life cycle, usually the larval stage, are called meroplankton. |
|
| They are known as meroplankton which means they spend a part of their lives as plankton. |

| The larvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii live in an estuarine meroplankton and take part in the dynamics of this environment. |
|
| Such animals are termed holoplankton, while the temporary residents of the plankton are called meroplankton. |
|
| North of the area, the meroplankton includes several fish species. |
|
| Rotifers, cladocerans, and meroplankton were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level. |
