Benthos can be anywhere as long as they are on the ocean floor, from the continenal shelf to the abyssal plain.
Most benthos organisms live in the benthic zone of the ocean floor, which includes the seabed and the waters just above it. This region extends from the intertidal zone down to the deep sea, with a significant concentration found in continental shelves where sunlight penetrates, supporting diverse ecosystems. The benthic zone provides various habitats, from sandy and muddy bottoms to rocky substrates, fostering a wide range of life forms.
* Aphotic Zone
on sandy bottoms among beds of sea grass in warm tropical waters
artic zone
Coastal Ocean
They are found in the intertidal zone.
Seahorse live in the sunlight zone Blythe
The answers are; 1. Littoral zone 2. Sublittoral zone 3. Pelagic zone
The six distinct ecological zones in the ocean are the epipelagic zone (sunlight zone), mesopelagic zone (twilight zone), bathypelagic zone (midnight zone), abyssopelagic zone (abyssal zone), hadalpelagic zone (trench zone), and intertidal zone (shoreline area). Each zone has unique characteristics and supports different types of marine life.
Kelp forests are found in the ocean zone called the neritic zone, which is the shallow part of the ocean where sunlight can penetrate to allow for photosynthesis. These underwater ecosystems are typically located in temperate and polar regions with nutrient-rich waters.
Sea sponges are a part of the marine biome. They are even found in the disphotic zone of the ocean, also known as the Twilight Zone.
A cold and salt tolerant crab would likely be found in the polar regions of the ocean where temperatures are cold and salinity levels are high. These crabs have adapted to thrive in these extreme conditions.
