I think it is a Nekton because if it was Benthos it would live on the ocean floor, and Plankton are plants or plant like animals. Alligators swim freely and can't breath underwater.
A shrimp is a benthic animal, falling in the benthos category. They feed on plankton.
the classifications are plankton , nekton, and benthos
oceans animals that can swim are animals of nekton
Nekton :D
Free swimming fish live in the nekton area. In the Pacific Ocean whales, sharks, squid, turtles, octopus, rays, and adult fish are some animals that live in the nekton area in the Pacific Ocean. There are many more animals but these are the most basic ones that would be found easily and well known thoughout the world. I hope I answered your question.
