Ocean water within a wave moves in a circular motion in open water. As the wave approaches the shore, the water becomes shallow and the bottom.
The open-water zone of a lake typically ends at the littoral zone, which is the shallow water area near the shore where aquatic plants can grow. Beyond the littoral zone is the limnetic zone, which is the area of open water where sunlight can penetrate and most photosynthesis occurs.
Like most fish, they lay eggs. Herring females lay their eggs in shallow open water and they sink to the bottom.
