Examples: clams, crayfish, and a wide variety of worms. | Benthic invertebrates are aquatic animals without backbones that dwell on or in the bottom sediments of fresh or salt water.

Benthic invertebrates is a month-by-month, computer generated data layer following calculations made by the ecosystem simulation (EwE). | |||
Different pressures generate by human activities ([[(NS)Noise|noise]], [[(NS)Bottom Disturbace|bottom disturbance]], [[(NS)Surface Disturbance|surface disturbance]], [[(NS)Artificial Substrate|artificial substrate]]) have different, complex effects on marine species in terms of movement, survival and procreation. | |||
Benthic invertebrates are a source of food for a large number of fish (notably flatfish, cod, demersal fish), crabs and seabirds. | |||
Only large benthic invertebrates are caught by all fishing fleets, but mostly by bottom trawl. | |||
