The benthic zone begins at the edge of the sea at the intertidal zone, extends out along the continental shelf, and continues down the continental slope to the abyssal plain, thousands of meters below sea level.
Benthos: Inhabitants of the Benthic Zone. The organisms that live in the benthic zone are collectively called benthos.. They include crustaceans, mollusks, worms, fish, and any other type of organism that makes its home on or in the seabed. The majority of benthos are scavengers or detritus feeders that eat decomposing organic matter.
