[[Tychoplankton]] are organisms, such as free-living or attached [[Benthos|benthic organism]]s and other non-planktonic organisms, that are carried into the plankton through a disturbance of their benthic habitat, or by winds and currents.<ref name=Margulis_2009>{{cite book|last1=Chapman|first1=Michael J. | first2=Lynn | last2=Margulis | author-link=Lynn Margulis|title=Kingdoms and Domains: An Illustrated Guide to the Phyla of Life on Earth|url=https://archive.org/details/fivekingdomsillu00marg_711|url-access=limited|year=2009|publisher=Academic Press/Elsevier|location=Amsterdam|isbn=978-0123736215|pages=[https://archive.org/details/fivekingdomsillu00marg_711/page/n619 566]|edition=[4th ed.].}}</ref> This can occur by direct [[turbulence]] or by disruption of the substrate and subsequent entrainment in the water column.<ref name=Margulis_2009/><ref>{{Cite book |url=https://archive.org/details/encyclopediabiol00simb |title=Encyclopedia of biological invasions |publisher=University of California Press |year=2011 |isbn=978-0520264212 |editor-last=Simberloff |editor-first=Daniel |location=Berkeley |pages=[https://archive.org/details/encyclopediabiol00simb/page/n760 736] |editor-last2=Rejmanek |editor-first2=Marcel |url-access=limited}}</ref> Tychoplankton are, therefore, a primary subdivision for sorting planktonic organisms by duration of lifecycle spent in the plankton, as neither their entire lives nor particular reproductive portions are confined to planktonic existence.<ref name=Kennish_2003>{{cite book|editor-last=Kennish|editor-first=Michael J.|title=Estuarine Research, Monitoring, and Resource Protection|year=2004|publisher=CRC Press|location=Boca Raton, Fla.|isbn=978-0849319600|pages=194|url=http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/0849319609|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130120014208/http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/0849319609|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-20}}</ref> Tychoplankton are sometimes called ''accidental plankton''.
