nekton noun
- the aggregate of actively swimming animals in a body of water ranging from microscopic organisms to whales
Description
Nekton or necton refers to aquatic organisms that can actively and persistently propel themselves through a water column. The term was proposed by German biologist Ernst Haeckel to differentiate between the active swimmers in a body of water, and the planktons that were passively carried along by the water current. As a guideline, nektonic organisms have a high Reynolds number and planktonic organisms a low one. However, some organisms can begin life as planktonic larvae and transition to nektonic juveniles and adults later on in life, sometimes making distinction difficult when attempting to classify certain plankton-to-nekton species as one or the other. For this reason, some biologists choose not to use this term.
