Demersal

by Renee Piccitto | Dec 30, 2018

The demersal zone is the part of the sea, ocean, or even a deep lake, consisting of the part of the water column near to (and affected by) the seabed and the benthos. The demersal zone is just above the benthic zone and forms a layer of the larger profundal zone.
