Nektonic organisms are aquatic organisms that are able to actively swim and move independently in water bodies, such as fish, squids, and marine mammals. They typically inhabit the open ocean and have developed adaptations that allow them to navigate through the water column in search of food and prey. Nektonic organisms play a crucial role in marine ecosystems as predators and prey, contributing to the overall biodiversity and functioning of the ocean.
