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.

What sorts of adaptations do nektons and benths possess that allow them to survive there?

Nektons, which include swimming organisms like fish and squid, possess adaptations such as streamlined bodies for efficient movement through water, specialized fins for maneuverability, and gills for extracting oxygen. In contrast, benthos, which are bottom-dwelling organisms like crabs and sea stars, have adaptations such as strong appendages for navigating the seafloor, camouflaging coloration for protection, and the ability to burrow into sediments for shelter and access to food. Both groups also exhibit physiological adaptations to cope with varying pressure, temperature, and salinity in their respective habitats.


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.
