NEKTON Debate

This is a little post contrasting what we told in class. Nekton nekton, those creatures that move freely from currents, as opposed to plankton which move with currents. Nekton does in fact include all the vertebrates, that is the fish and sharks and whales and seals and and and all the creatures that may swim freely in the ocean. I guess it is just a catch all term. For more information go here.
