The temperature in the zone beneath the thermocline remains relatively stable as it experiences minimal mixing with the warmer water above and the cooler water below. This results in a sharp temperature gradient between the layers above and below the thermocline.
Animals commonly found in the thermocline layer of the ocean include tuna, swordfish, and some species of sharks. These animals are adapted to the varying temperatures and oxygen levels found in this layer, making it a suitable habitat for them.
There is a thermocline present, but it may appear only seasonally. This is due to the fact that the sun's energy hits the earth at an angle (as opposed to straight on) in the high latitude ocean waters. Therefore, less penetrating heat rays = less of a thermocline.
The transition between the warm surface layer and the deep cold water in the oceans is marked by a distinct boundary called the thermocline. The thermocline is a region where temperature decreases rapidly with depth, signaling the shift from warmer surface waters to cooler deep waters in the ocean.

The sun can't reach the thermocline layer to heat that depth of water
A thermocline is a rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean. Depending on the latitude and season, thermoclines can be present or absent and vary in depth of occurrence, however a thermocline will usually be found in the mesopelagic zone.

all lakes have a thermocline. Summer time the thermocline will be higher. In winter lower. Thermocline is a layer of water that is separated by temperature. Some lakes have a summer thermocline of 40 feet. But colder water in any lake will fluctuate with how cold and access to sunlight.
A rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean is called thermocline. A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the pynocline.Thermocline

A pycnocline is a type of ecocline (or "cline" for short), just as thermocline and halocline are. An ecocline is where a series of biocommunities display a continuous gradient. A pycnocline is the difference in water density. A thermocline is the difference in water temperature. A halocline is the difference in water salinity
The term you are referring to is "thermocline." It is the layer of water in the ocean where there is a rapid change in temperature with depth, serving as a barrier between warmer surface water and colder deep water.
