The Neritic Zone and The Oceanic Zone
pelagic environment is the worst environment in the ocean
There are two major ocean zones, Pelagic and Benthic zones. The Pelagic zone is the open ocean and the Benthic zone is the ocean bottom.
the pelagic environment is the entire ocean water column.
The Benthic and Pelagic environments are the two main ocean environments.

The marine zone that is divided vertically by depth into three additional zones is the pelagic zone. The three zones within the pelagic zone are the epipelagic zone (0-200 meters), the mesopelagic zone (200-1,000 meters), and the bathypelagic zone (1,000-4,000 meters). These zones represent different levels of light penetration and nutrient availability.
The Pelagic Ream. Most whales live out in the open ocean, ranging between the photic and aphotic zones.
Sea otters live in the pelagic environment. They are able to survive in the high levels of salt, regulate their body temperature and are able to adapt to the low-oxygen environment.
This is part of the open sea or ocean that is not near the coast or the sea floor. It is generally cold. The flora includes surface seaweeds. The fauna include many species of fish and some mammals. Plankton is abundant r
