Thanks.

I feel informed now I know about:

*Plankton Man
*Electroplankton
*United Plankton Pictures

Purist dabbers will dispute some of those entries, but I think dab
pages should be informative, as well as referring purely to things
that might conceivably be searched for or linked to as "plankton".
