Is pelagic zone an abiotic or biotic?

Answer 1

The Pelagic zone in a body of water is neither near the bottom nor the shore. Its name comes from the Ancient Greek for "open sea". Life can exist in the Pelagic zone so it is biotic, although as it gets deeper and light levels decrease, large parts of it may not see much life at all.

Answer 2

The pelagic zone is an abiotic environment in the ocean, representing the open water area that is not close to the shore or the seabed. It encompasses the water column from the surface to the depths of the ocean and does not include fixed or stationary organisms.

Answer 3

Water, Salt, Sunlight (near the top in the epipelagic zone), sulphur (near the bottom).
