"Nekton" means "swimming things." Most nekton are fish. Not too many swimming plants, though; they mostly appear (unrooted) as "plankton" or "floating things." Actually, there are both zoplankton (floating critters) and phytoplankton (floating veggies).

That is an oveous question ,NOTHING its a producer it makes its own food

small fishes eat nekton then a shrimp then a seal and thats how the food chain goes:)

Nekton are multicellular and plankton are multicellular or unicellular. The Zooplankton are Multicellular and Phytoplankton are Unicellular. Nekton are Consumers but also can be Producers.
