What is the Pressure of the Mesopelagic Zone?

List the three major marine ecological call zones. Give two abiotic factors for each zone?

littoral - wave action sublittoral - temperature epipelagic (photic zone) - light mesopelagic - halocline bathypelagic - pressure abyssal - lack of light, pressure

What are some pelagic zone plants?

also called twilight zone, it is the zone between 100 and 1000m depth. In this zone you don't have primary production (no light, no photosynthesis) but you have all the flux of matter that comes from the surface (fecal pellets, diatoms aggregates, marine snow...). This is the zone where you have all the remineralization processes by the microbial loop and by the zooplankton, so it will determine which part of the CO2 fixed in surface (epipelagic, euphotic zone), that will be sequestrated in the ocean floor and which part will be remineralized (and reinjected to the surface through e.g. winter mixing or mixing/transport by animals) -> this zone is of extreme importance in the phenomenon that we call "oceanic biological pump". A quarter of the CO2 produce each day by humans goes to the ocean -> what are the capacities of the ocean to stock CO2? Is it getting saturated? Can we accelerate the pumping of carbon by fertilizing ocean surface? what will be the role of ocean in global warming? ... All answers need a deep understanding of the mesopelagic zone, one of the less known zone of the ocean!

Which marine zone is divided vertically by depth into three additional zones?

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.

Where in the ocean are you likely to find animals that make their own light?

the mesopelagic zone

Which zone does the piglet squid live in?

The piglet squid lives in the epipelagic zone (sunlight zone) until they are fully matured when they descend in to the mesopelagic zone (twilight zone).

In which ocean zone are the piglet squid found?

epipelagic zone (sunlight zone)- as deep as 200 meters, until they reach full maturation, then the will descend into the mesopelagic zone (twilight zone).

Is the region of no light aquatic environment?

The region where no light penetrates in an aquatic environment is known as the midnight zone. The mesopelagic zone is an area where small amounts of light penetrate.
