Benthos are the organisms that live in the benthic zone, and are different from those elsewhere in the water column. Many are adapted to live on the substrate (bottom). In their habitats they can be considered as dominant creatures, but they are often a source of prey for Carcharhinidae such as the lemon shark.
What is the Benthos? The term benthos derives from the Greek word bathys, meaning deep. Benthos refers collectively to all aquatic organisms which live on, in, or near the bottom of water bodies. This includes organisms inhabiting both running and standing waters, and also applies to organisms from both saltwater and freshwater habitats.
