Best Answer

Nekton are found all over the ocean but studies indicate that an area with a smaller whale population has a lesser chance of developing Nekton as they are filtered out as the whales ingest them.

A whales food consists of algae, plankton, Nekton and small fish.

How many meters does giant squid live in the sea?

A giant squid is a nekton, and nektons can be at the surface, middle, or bottom of the ocean. So since it is giant it won't be at the surface or the middlish or the middle. So it could be in the middle deep, deep or super deep but it would have to adapt to that or else it probably would get squished like a pancake. Now all you have to do is think about it and calculate the answer on how big the ocean is in meters then just guess where it lives in the 2 place I told you it would be possible.
