A lacto-ovo-vegetarian is a vegetarian that also eats eggs and dairy products. A pescatarian is a vegetarian that also eats fish. There may be other variations.
The main difference between a vegan and a vegetarian is vegetarianism is a diet, while veganism is a lifestyle which encompasses more than just diet.
