II.highly developed chemoreception
III.adaptations for burrowing
IV.adaptations for sit-and-wait predation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fish species in the aphotic zone, which lacks sunlight, would not benefit from symbioses with photosynthetic organisms. However, they would benefit from highly developed chemoreception to detect prey and predators and adaptations for burrowing to avoid predators or find shelter. Additionally, sit-and-wait predation is not as effective in the aphotic zone as it is in the photic zone where there is more light, so this adaptation may not be as common in aphotic-zone species.
