What planton eat?

Phytoplankton are primary producers that make their own food through photosynthesis using sunlight and nutrients in the water. Zooplankton, on the other hand, are small animals that feed on phytoplankton and other organic matter in the water. Together, phytoplankton and zooplankton form the base of the marine food chain.

How do fish survive in the ocean?

Fish survive in the ocean by their gills. Fish need oxygen too, just like many other living things. They do not breath the water. Their gills receive oxygen and they breath that way. that's why fish CAN live under water. Deep-sea fish are fish that live in the darkness below the sunlit surface waters, that is below the epipelagic or photic zone of the sea. The lanternfish is, by far, the most common deep-sea fish. Other deep sea fish include the flashlight fish, cookiecutter shark, bristlemouths, anglerfish, and viperfish.Only about 2% of known marine species inhabit the pelagic environment. This means that they live in the water column as opposed to the benthic organisms that live in or on the sea floor.Deep-sea organisms generally inhabit bathypelagic (1000m-4000m deep) and abyssopelagic (4000m-6000m deep) zones. However, characteristics of deep-sea organisms, such as bioluminescence can be seen in the mesopelagic (200m-1000m deep) zone as well.
