Where in a marsh does the scallop live?

Scallops are bottom feeders. They're found on the ocean floor. So the water zone in which they live is the third water zone. That particular zone of the ocean is called aphotic, which means 'having no light' in Greek. It's more than 3,300 feet/1,000 meters down from the ocean surface.The top zone, in which most ocean life is found, is called the sunlit or euphotic zone. The word 'euphotic' means 'well lit' in Greek. It tends to end about 660 feet/200 meters down from the ocean surface, in clear waters.The middle zone is called the twilight or disphotic zone. The word 'disphotic' means 'poorly lit' in Greek. It begins about 3,300 feet/1,000 meters down from the ocean surface.
