Fishes that live on or near the bottom (demersal) have a number of useful adaptations for this environment. They are usually flat (flatfishes, rays, and skates); they have jaws that are adapted for feeding on benthic shelled invertebrates; they have specialized sense organs; some employ specialized feeding structures such as lures; and some have a camouflaged dorsal surface.
