There is an unsourced, potentially dubious fact on wikipedia that I ran across the other day: "Whitefish live on or near the seafloor, and can be contrasted with the oily or pelagic fish which live away from the seafloor.[citation needed][dubious – discuss]" [0] I never really thought much about the difference between pelagic and benthic/benthopelagic fish before, but it seems like the lifecycle of bottom-feeding fish tends to be much longer than that of their more active pelagic cousins, which has a direct impact on the quality and texture of their flesh. 0 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitefish_(fisheries_term) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitefish_(fisheries_term)
