👉 Benthopelagic is a scientific term that refers to the region of the ocean where marine organisms primarily live and grow. It encompasses the bottom layers of the ocean, including the euphotic zone (the layer above 200 meters) and the mesopelagic zone (the layer below 100 meters). The benthopelagic area is characterized by a high concentration of plankton and other marine organisms that are not adapted to life in the open sea.
