The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean or a lake, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers. Organisms living in this zone are called benthos, e.g. the benthic invertebrate community, including crustaceans and polychaetes. The organisms generally live in close relationship with the substrate bottom and many are permanently attached to the bottom.
Benthic Zone The Benthic zone is the ecological area at the bottom of any given body of water such as lakes or oceans. Benthos are the organisms which live in the Benthic zone, and are different from those elsewhere in the Ocean. Many are adapted to live on the substrate or the bottom sediment that exist at the bottom of oceans. Many organisms here are scavengers, or detrivores that have adapted to feeding off of dead organisms that have decayed and fallen to the Benthic zone. This type of food is what supplies the Benthic food chain.
