they don't they live in the sun light zone
Humpback whales live in all oceans of the world. They have feeding areas, and breeding areas. North Pacific humpbacks feed off Russia, Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and Canada. They breed in three areas: Baja California, Hawaii, and the islands south of Okiniwa, Japan. Atlantic humpbacks feed as far north as Norway and breed south of the Caribbean. Southern Ocean humpbacks feed in the southern areas and breed off the west coast of Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Samoa and Fiji. There are humpback whales seen year around Costa Rica. Just a few days ago a humpback whale was seen in Hong Kong Bay for the first time in many years.
Yes they do live in the sunlit zone. they feed on plankton which also lives in this zone
What type of whale and plankton live in the palagic zone and what do they look like and what types of fish live in the plagic zone to
Blue whales are normally found in the sunlight zone, which is the uppermost layer of the ocean.
The zone that Killer Whales live in is called the Sunlight zone.
The surface of the ocean down to 600 feet is called the Epipelagic Zone, commonly called the Sunlight Zone. Whales, being mammals, must breathe air and have a blowhole on top of their head for just that purpose. If they dive deeper than 600 feet, they would be getting into the Mesopelagic Zone (also known as the Twilight Zone) which goes to 3,000 feet below sea level. Humpback whales thrive in most of the world's oceans and seas, as they migrate as much as 16,000 miles per year. Check out the related link I've listed below, for more information.
Adult Humpback whales are known to have an average lifespan of around 50 to 60 years. For decades man has hunted them extensively and hence we really do not know what their actual life expectancy is. Researchers recently discovered that a whale nearly 200 years old was captured near Alaska.
No whale species live permanently in the bathyal zone, but sperm whales, with the large proportion of tissue in their heads protecting them from the immense pressures at depth, are capable of diving into the bathyal zone to hunt. They prey on squid, including the giant squid.
Benthic is the seafloor or floor of a lake. Clams would live there. Whales live in the Pelagic zone. I'm in biology now and we just had that question!
Whales migrate all over the ocean at certain times of the seasons.
Humpback whales primarily feed on small fish and krill. They can be found feeding in cold, nutrient-rich waters such as the Antarctic Ocean and areas with upwelling currents like the Gulf of Maine. They use various feeding techniques, including bubble-net feeding and lunge feeding, to capture their prey.
