Answer:

1.) -12

2.) 28

3.) 40

Explanation:

The elevation of an object is the height or depth of the object relative to the sea level. If the object is above sea level, its elevation will be positive. However, if the object is below sea level, its elevation will be negative. Therefore, we can conclude that the elevation of the fish is -12 m because it is below sea level.
