If a fish is described as 'benthic', where does it live?

The correct answer is "at the bottom". There are plenty of pelagic (kind of the opposite of benthic) fish that live in the deep ocean. There are plenty of benthic fish that live in shallow water. I am a benthic ecologist.

nice one🥰

thanks . did not know classification name. lived in Biloxi, Ms. once and frequently saw flounders. cool fish.

YSL, thank you for that clarification.

YSL, can you please explain how these fish handle the immense pressure of water at the bottom of the sea? Do they have special biology for this?

YSL, please report the error. They won't correct it until enough people complain.

YSL, Thank you for the correction. The correct answer was not among the options.

beneath word is taken out from the word benthic (I thought)so I answered it right 😁
