What is a pelagic fish? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Pelagic and Benthic are opposites
Benthic means living on the bottom
Pelagic means living in the water above the bottom
So pelagic fish make the open ocean their home. They swim continuously in open water, usually well offshore, they tend to be nomadic and do not remain in one area.
