Answer 3

Bottom dwelling fish tend to have mouths facing the substrate (ground) which allows them to pull little bottom dwelling insects, shrimp, plankton, or they have flat bodies with mouths facing up and really good camoflage in order to catch prey easily. Bottom dwelling fish usually have patterns on there scales that matches there enviroment for better camoflage and protection against larger prey ex. Speckled Sanddab, Flounders, Sand Sole, American Goosefish, etc. With pelagic zone fish, you will find fish with darker upper bodies and lighter colour lower bodies so that they are harder to see from above and below when it comes to predators. Some examples of pelagic zone fish are Herring, Anchovies, Salmon, Marlins, Manta Rays, the list goes on and on.
