How deep do squid live in the ocean?
They live in deep trenches in the ocean.
What are phytopla nkton?
Do you mean phytoplankton? If so then : Phytoplankton are microscopic plant-like organisms that live in the ocean. Hope this helps :)

Does the box jellyfish live in the benthic or pelagic environment?
Phytoplankton live near the surface of the ocean because they need sunlight like all green plants. They also need water and nutrients to live. Phytoplankton use water and CO2 to grow, but phytoplankton still need other vitamins and minerals, like iron to survive. When the surface of the ocean is cold, the deeper parts of the ocean bring these nutrients to the surface and the plankton live. But, when the surface of the ocean is warm, as in El Niño, the ocean does not bring as many of these essential nutrients and the phytoplankton die. That causes a major problem because phytoplankton are at the base of the food chain. So, when the population of phytoplankton is reduced almost the entire food chain is effected.
What food primarily supports ocean life?
Phytoplankton, which is a microscopic and autotrophic organism. There are trillions of phytoplankton in the ocean.
Why do plankton live in shallow ocean water?
They live in shallow waters because they need the easy access to the sunlight to perform photosynthesis.
What photosynthetic organisms found at the surface of the ocean?
The answer to your question is phytoplankton
What microscopic animal feeds on phytoplankton?
Most phytoplankton are far too small to be seen individually with the human eye. Phytoplankton, like plants, get energy from a process called photosynthesis, and must live in the well-lit surface layers of an ocean, sea, or lake. Some kinds of zooplankton feed on phytoplankton and so do shellfish that live on the ocean floor. Many filter fish also eat it as they cruise the waters.
