The open water zone reaches down to where sunlight can still penetrate. Organisms that live here include tadpoles, fish, and non deep-rooted plants. Phytoplankton is the most abundant organism here.

What are the three main vertical divisions of the ocean based on the depth and distance from the shore?
The Intertidal zone, Coastal Ocean, and the Open Ocean
What name is given to the open ocean?
An ocean is just a vast expanse or quantity of water. As a result of this explanation it seems that there is no difference between an ocean and a sea.The word Ocean derives from the Latin 'oceanus' and the Greek 'okeanus' which was thought to be a great river or sea surrounding the disk of the Earth. Oceanus was the son of Uranus and Gaia. This comes from early times when only the large land masses of Europe and Africa were known and the Ocean was an endless river that flowed around them. In later times the name was 'ocean sea' and later still when exploration discovered even larger bodies of water did the term 'ocean sea' divide into 'sea' for smaller bodies of water and 'ocean' for the largest There are now five Oceans, Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Antarctic
What kind of fish live in the Near-Shore Zone?
The specific area in the ocean which is touching or close to land is called neratic zone .
What animals live in trench ocean zone?
spiderman,super man, and aqua man
What are the three main layers of the ocean?
he Epipelagic Zone is the first layer of the ocean. It's the zone that extends from the surface to 200 meters in depth. In this zone there is the most light and where there is sun there is heat. This is also the most clear zone.The Mesopelagic Zone is the second zone of the ocean layers. Extending from 200 meters to a 1000 meters. In this zone there isn't almost any sunlight that penetrates these depths. It's also called the Twilight zone or the Middwater zone, most of the deep sea fishes are living in this zone.The Bathypelagic Zone is also called the dark zone. In this zone there isn't any sunlight, but you can find light that is produced by deep sea animals like the Firefly Squid or the Vampire Squid. This zone extends from 1000 meters to 4000 meters where the pressure is so high that only a few deep sea animals can handle the pressure. The animals that live on these depths are mostly specially adapted creatures and they have a very different appearance then normal fishes.The Abyssopelagic Zone, this zone is very cold and it almost doesn't contain any lifeform. It's also called the abyss, what actually means no bottom in Greek. The animals that live here are mostly invertible like tiny sea animals. This zone extends from 4000 meters to 6000 meters! The pressure is too high for many deep sea animals.The Hadalpelagic Zone or Hadal zone, the last zone of the ocean layers extends from 6000 meters to the deepest bottoms of the oceans! The deepest spot can be found at the Mariana Trench of the coast of Japan that has a depth of more then 10.900 meters. The pressure here is just amazing and still there are creatures like the Viperfish and the Angler fish that can live on these depths. Animals that live on these depths die if they go to a zone with a lower pression.
List six distinct ecological zones that can be found in the ocean?
The Intertidal Zone, Coastal Zone, Open Ocean, Ocean Trench, Photic Zone, and Aphotic Zone. (i asked this question then found it in my textbook)
What is the temp of the open ocean zone?
surface/ open ocean zone was warmer than the deep ocean. Sunlight can reach the open ocean so the temp. is warm.
What animals are in an open-ocean zone?
In the open ocean you can find the Blue whale
A cold tolerant and salt tolerant type of crab would likely be found in which part of the ocean?
Deep Zone
What zone of the ocean do sea sponges live in?
The ocean zone is the deep, or open ocean zone, where they swim amongst the coral and red water ;D
What organisms inhabit the upper zone of the open ocean and why are they so important?
what organisms inhabit the upper zone of the open ocean and why are they so impotant
What are organism inhabit the upper zone of the open ocean and why are they so important?
what organisms inhabit the upper zone of the open ocean and why are they so impotant
What are facts about the open ocean zone?
The open ocean zone is also referred to as the pelagic zone. Facts of the area include that it is everything in the ocean except the coastal areas. It is the top sunlit layer of the ocean and is the marine ecosystem's largest area.
Which zone probably has the greatest variety of living things the neritic zone or the itertidal zone or the open-ocean zone?
This question is debatable. It could either be the open-ocean zone because it is bigger and deeper so animals who can live at the bottom and the top can live in the open-ocean zone. it could be the neritic zone because of the water that flows through and etc. =D
What is the surface of the open ocean?
deep zone
In which zone of the ocean are bioluminescent organisms found?
* Aphotic Zone
What fish live in the open ocean zone?
Many big fish live in the open ocean zone including dolphins, whales, sharks, and tuna. There are many other fish that live in the open ocean as well.
