The Benthic and Pelagic environments are the two main ocean environments.
Benthic-pelagic coupling is the recycling of nutrients between the benthos (bottom) and the water column (pelagic habitat).
Sea otters live in the pelagic environment. They are able to survive in the high levels of salt, regulate their body temperature and are able to adapt to the low-oxygen environment.
the depth of the pelagic zone is 11 kilograms
pelagic environment is a marine or freshwater envrionment that is not on the sea bed or river bed. A marine ecosystem can be divided into a benthic habitat (living off the sea bed, eg the coral reef) or pelagic (open waters) where the majority of fisheries may operate
it is called the pelagic zone.
