Step 3 - Slice the squash. Just take a sharp knife and cut of both ends (about 1/4 of an inch, or half the width of an average woman's little finger) Slice 1/2-inch thick slices. Prepare quickly, (if you leave it sit out cut up for more than a half hour, it will start to discolor).
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.
Ad. Demersal or benthic habitats are found on the bottom of the oceans. They are divided into the shallower coastal benthic and the deep ocean benthic habitats found beyond the continental shelf. Coral reefs are a benthic habitat in shallow, warm waters where an abundance of light penetrates.ere, no light penetrates and plants are not found. Organisms living in this ocean habitat are primarily detritus eaters, subsisting on the organic matter that floats to the bottom of the sea. Little studied due to the difficulties involved, this deep area is believed to be rich in biodiversity.
