The surface zone of aquatic environments, often referred to as the photic zone, is home to a diverse array of organisms. This includes phytoplankton, which are microscopic plants that photosynthesize and form the base of the food web, as well as zooplankton, small animals that feed on phytoplankton. Additionally, larger organisms such as fish, marine mammals, and seabirds can be found in this zone, taking advantage of the abundant light and nutrients available for growth and reproduction. The surface zone supports a rich ecosystem due to its access to sunlight and oxygen.
What else can I help you with?
What ocean zone contains most organisms?
Most plants and animals live in the Sunlit Zone.
What percentage of organisms in the ocean live in the uppermost zone?
almost 90% of organisms in the ocean live in the uppermost zone
What zone does the manatee live in?

What ocean does the gray whale live in?

What ocean zone do diatoms live in?
Diatoms are primarily found in the sunlit zone of the ocean, also known as the euphotic zone. This zone receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur, which is essential for diatoms as they are photosynthetic organisms. They are most abundant in surface waters where sunlight penetration is optimal.

What organisms live in the hadal zone?
the zone consist that of the floor of the ocean trenches
How do organisms in aphotic zone get food?
Organisms in the aphotic zone rely on detritus, organic matter sinking from the surface, and chemosynthesis, where bacteria and other organisms use chemical compounds to produce energy. Some organisms may also migrate to the surface at night to feed on organisms that have photosynthesized during the day.
