A fact from Pelagic fish appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 28 July 2009 (

The coverage of the scalloped hammerhead in this article seems misplaced. Its range is mostly very shallow waters such as estuaries and inlets, so any reference to it under Pelagic Fish seems dubious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wcoole ( talk • contribs) 00:35, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
I feel the section on demersal fish is out of focus. In an article about pelagic fish, demersal fish are relevant basically because the distinction between demersal and pelagic is not always clear-cut. This is not the angle taken, the section is more like a stand-alone text where the link to the pelagic is missing. Bentho-pelagic subsection could be promoted to a section, whereas Benthic fish section should mention that "classic" benthic species may have pelagic larvae or juveniles.

Hi, I'm entirely ignorant about fish and oceanography, but something seems to be amiss in the diagram in the lede, which reads:
"Pelagic fish live in the pelagic zone of ocean or lake waters – being neither close to the bottom nor near the shore – in contrast with demersal fish, which do live on or near the bottom, and reef fish, which are associated with coral reefs.[1]"
But the diagram [[File:Wfm pelagic.png|thumb|right|Scale diagram of the layers of the pelagic zone]] shows the pelagic zone as extending right to the ocean floor, and omits the Demersal zone (which must make it difficult for the demersal fish) and the muddy Benthic zone. These zones are shown in the {{aquatic layer topics}} template in the Pelagic zone article. There are other similar diagrams on the interwebs which also omit the two lowest zones: where do these diagrams originate? Are there two schools of thought, or is something just wrong? > MinorProphet ( talk) 07:12, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

In the section on Oceanic Fish, there is mention of Dolphins which seems a little odd given dolphins are mammals. Is it possible that the writer meant dolphinfish, which are listed in the "Species by pelagic zone" table?
