A depletion MOSFET is a MOSFET that is normally on. It outputs maximum current when the gate-source voltage is 0V. As the gate-source voltage increases, the drain-source channel becomes more resistive and the current decreases.

An enhancement MOSFET has the opposite behavior. It is normally off. It outputs no current when the gate-source voltage is 0V. As the gate-source voltage increases, the drain-source channel becomes less resistive and the current increases.
