Groundfish is a general term referring to fish that live on or near the sea floor. groundfish are also

called bottom fish or demersal fish.

In the context of the environment, "groundfish" typically refers to fish that live near the bottom of the ocean, rather than in the water column or near the surface. Groundfish can be found in a variety of environments, including shallow coastal waters and deep offshore areas.

There are many different types of groundfish, including species such as cod, haddock, flounder, and halibut. These fish are often caught using gear such as bottom trawls or longlines, and they are an important resource for commercial and recreational fishermen around the world.

Groundfish are also an important part of marine ecosystems, as they can serve as a food source for other species and play a role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. However, some groundfish populations have declined in recent years due to overfishing and other human activities, and there are ongoing efforts to sustainably manage these resources.
