The surface of the ocean is 0 meters.

Because the fish is below the surface it would be a negative number. ( it is less than 0)

The elevation of the fish would be -12 meters.

Answer:

-12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Elevation is the height above a given level, most often the sea. Therefore, elevation is like a vertical numerical line. If the sea level is 0, and to the right of the 0 is positive numbers, then the left has to be negative.

Therefore, the fish is -12 meters below sea level.
