Plankton species are commonly classified as a profundal zone organism.

Explanation:

In inland standing water reserve such as lake or ponds, sunlight penetrate through the water into a certain depth. Below that level, the light does not reaches. Also the area is below the thermocline zone of water, that is, the vertical zone along which the temperature decreases sharply. This area or layer is known as profundal zone and the organisms found in this zone are called profundal zone organisms, The marine organisms belonging to plankton species generally thrive in profundal zone.
