“Shallow” Arctic Benthic Biology By: Madison Peters

“Shallow” Arctic Benthic The Arctic Benthic is the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. The “Shallow” Arctic Benthic is anywhere on the bottom of the ocean from the shore to about 200 meters below the surface of the water.

Organisms There are multiple types of organisms that live in the Arctic Benthic. The Meiobenthos, Macrobenthos, Infauna, and Epifauna. These categories of organisms either live or feed off the bottom organisms.

Predators Some of the main species of predators that feed off of the benthos organisms include sea ducks, seals, walruses, and whales.

Prey Some of the main organisms that are prey in the benthic include clams, sea cucumbers, crabs and seafloor plants.

Material of the Floor The seafloor is made of different materials depending on the depth of the ocean. The sandy soft substrate, the muddy soft substrate, the hard substrate, and the secondary hard substrate.

Conclusion In conclusion, the Arctic Marine Benthic Biology in the more shallow parts, is full of life, from coral reefs to narwhals and seals. The materials are very different from each other. If you want to learn more on this topic go to EOEarth and explore.EOEarth
