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.
Overview. Benthic habitats cover about 70% of the earth surface. Of the marine species, 98% live on or in the ocean floor. The benthic zone maintains a substantial part of the worldâs biodiversity.However not all of the benthic habitats are equally susceptible to alien species invasion.f all marine species, 98% live on or in the ocean floor. These organisms are called benthos, or bottom dwellers. There are those called infauna that live buried in the sand, shells or mud.
