What is the part of the open ocean that receives enough light for floating algae to carry out photosynthesis called?
The part of the open ocean that receives enough light for floating algae to carry out photosynthesis is called the euphotic zone or photic zone. This is the upper layer of the ocean where sunlight penetrates and supports photosynthetic activities of algae and other marine plants.
What factor limits where algae are found in the open ocean?
The availability of sunlight is a major factor that limits where algae can be found in the open ocean. Algae rely on sunlight for photosynthesis, so they are usually found in the upper layers of the water column where light can penetrate. Nutrient levels and water temperature also play a role in determining the distribution of algae in the open ocean.

What plants and animals live in the Hadopelagic?
Hadopelagic or hadalpelagic means open ocean farther than the neritic zone and at least 6000m deep. The organisms that live here are hard to classify. There are the hydrothermal vents, which house chemosynthetic bacteria and some worms with red feathery looking things at the top for feeding. Most of the hadopelagic zone is unexplored and before the new discovery of hydrothermal vents, it was thought that nothing lived there at all. Due to lack of deep ocean exploration it is unknown what and how much lives down there. Jellies and ctenophores probably. But very little detritus falls that far.
