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!
Species that live in the mesopelagic zone are squid, wolf eels, swordfish and cuttlefish. The mesopelagic zone is part of the pelagic zone that extends as far as 3300 feet below the ocean surface.
There are no plants that grow in the mesopelagic zone. This is because there is not enough sunlight to reach any plants to carry out photosynthesis.
There is no plant life in the Mesopelagic Zone. This area, known as The Twilight Zone, does not receiving enough sunlight for photosynthesis to take place.
some pelagic zone plants are, phytonplanton, sargrgrassum, dialoms
== == kelp and algae.
algae, phytoplankton,seaweeds
tall,thick stemed
the depth of the pelagic zone is 11 kilograms
The area underneath the pelagic zone is called the benthic zone, or deep-sea, and is host to silt, sand, and slowly decomposing organisms.
an area in the ocean that is from 650ft. - 6,500ft. underneath pelagic zone.
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.
Pelagic fish are fish that live in the pelagic zone, not the top or the bottom, of a body of water. Some of these fish are sharks, reef fish, herrings and sardines.

Algae and coral reef can be producers in the pelagic zone.
the depth of the pelagic zone is 11 kilograms
The open sea zone is also known as the pelagic zone. It consists of everything in the ocean outside of the coastal areas.
