What else can I help you with?
Are you likely to find zooplankon in the aphotic benthic zone of an ocean?
no
What is the benthic zone home for?
The benthic zone is home to various organisms such as marine worms, crustaceans, mollusks, and echinoderms. These organisms rely on the sediments on the ocean floor for shelter, food, and protection. Additionally, bacteria and microorganisms also thrive in the benthic zone, contributing to nutrient recycling and ecosystem health.
What ocean zone is a star fish in?
Starfish are found in all temperate or tropical oceans. They are hugely adaptable and can live happily on sandy, coral, muddy or rocky seabeds. They are most abundant in the Atlantic ocean.
What ocean zone do stingrays live in?
Stingrays typically live in the benthic zone, which is the ocean floor area ranging from the shoreline to the deep sea. They are often found in sandy or muddy bottom habitats where they can bury themselves to camouflage and hide from predators.
Sunlight allows producers and the animals that depend on them to live in the what zone?
The ocean
What kinds of animals live in the benthic zone?
fishes
Do carnivores live in the benthic zone?
Yes there are carnivores in the benthic zone. The scavengers in the benthic zone are considered carnivores because the eat the dead aquatic animals that float to the bottom when they die. There are also some carnivorous fish in the benthic zone.
Do scavengers live in the benthic zone?
Yes.
Which zone would be diffucult for a plant to live in?
benthic
Do blue whales in a benthic zone?
Blue whales are not benthic animals, as they are pelagic mammals that primarily inhabit open ocean waters. They are known to dive deep to forage for food but do not reside in the benthic zone near the seabed.
What part of the ocean does rattail fish live in?
the deep or the benthic zone
What environment does a harbor seal live in Benthic or Pelagic zone?
pelagic
Why is it more difficult for plants to live in the benthic zone of this lake than in limnetic zone?
Lack of Light.
Do the blue whales live in the benthic habitat?
Benthic is the seafloor or floor of a lake. Clams would live there. Whales live in the Pelagic zone. I'm in biology now and we just had that question!
Benthos are organisms that live?
at the bottom of bodies of water, such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. They play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and provide food for many other organisms in the ecosystem. Examples include sea stars, clams, and worms.
Do sharks live in the benthic zone?
No. Sharks generally live in the surface, neritic, or intertidal zones of the ocean.
Which of the could you find in the benthic zone of a lake?
You would fine sediment in the benthic zone, or bottom, of a lake.
