here is what their definition provided me first pass yield fpy is a metric that indicates the percentage of items moving through a process without any problems one such problem of course is scrap which makes the output of items from a process lower than the input
Photosynthetic (plant-like) constituent of plankton, mainly comprised of unicellular algae. Supplement. Plankton pertain to the small organisms that drift, float, or weakly swimming in aquatic habitats. Some of them may be capable of diel vertical migration but they, in general, flow with their surrounding currents. They may be classified according to their trophic level groups: (1) phytoplankton, (2) zooplankton, (3) bacterioplankton, and (4) mycoplankton. Phytoplankton are the photosynthetic constituent of the plankton. Most of them are algal groups such as diatoms, dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria.
Within the plankton, holoplankton spend their entire life cycle as plankton (e.g. most algae, copepods, salps, and some jellyfish). By contrast, meroplankton are only planktic for part of their lives (usually the larval stage), and then graduate to either a nektic or benthic (sea floor) existence.lankton are primarily divided into broad functional (or trophic level) groups: 1  Phytoplankton (from Greek phyton, or plant), autotrophic, prokaryotic or eukaryotic algae that live near the water surface where there is sufficient light to support photosynthesis.
