In terms of biomass, deep ocean habitats are similar to Benthic and Abyssal Zones.
Yes, some carnivores live in the benthic zone, such as deep-sea fishes and crustaceans. These organisms have adapted to survive in the extreme conditions of the deep ocean floor and feed on other organisms that also inhabit this zone.
the deep or the benthic zone
In terms of biomass, deep ocean habitats are similar to Benthic and Abyssal Zones.
Blue whales are not benthic animals, as they are pelagic mammals that primarily inhabit open ocean waters. They are known to dive deep to forage for food but do not reside in the benthic zone near the seabed.
The order of benthic zones from shallow to deep is the littoral zone, sublittoral zone, bathyal zone, abyssal zone, and hadal zone. These zones represent different depths of the ocean floor and are characterized by specific environmental conditions and organisms that live there.
No. Benthic creatures live on the bottom of the ocean. Whales, which have to breath air, may dive deep to feed near the ocean bottom, but they don't live there.
Stingrays typically live in the benthic zone, which is the ocean floor area ranging from the shoreline to the deep sea. They are often found in sandy or muddy bottom habitats where they can bury themselves to camouflage and hide from predators.
Benthos
Studying deep-sea organisms is challenging due to the difficulty in reaching the ocean floor.
how deep the lake is.
It's called the Benthic Zone, though this name can apply to deep lakes as well as oceans.
