The great differences between the littoral and profundal benthos are controlled in part by the environmental conditions and in part by the life cycles of the individual species ... In the profundal zone ... soft sediments, virtual absence of light, low temperatures, and potentially severe chemical conditions, especially reduction in oxygen content, severely restrict the species composition. Midge larvae, oligochaetes, and fingernail clams are the most characteristic of the larger animals. 5, record 1, English, - abyssal%20benthos
