A phytoplankton-zooplankton model is proposed and analyzed as a submodel of oxygen-plankton model. Mathematically, two coupled differential equations are considered. In this work, oxygen which is produced as a result of photosynthetic process by phytoplankton in ocean is assumed stable by keep oxygen concentration as a constant value. Basic properties of the phytoplankton-zooplankton population are detailed with analytical and numerical way under the effect of change in system parameters. In particular, effects of per-capita growth rate of zooplankton and intraspecific competition for phytoplankton on the systems’ dynamical behavior are considered. To understand the system temporal structure nonspatial system is detailed. Then the spatial case is focussed with the assist of extensive numerical simulations. It is observed that the model system has rich patterns in both temporal and spatial case.
