What type of animals live in the photic zone?

The uppermost layer of the world's oceans that receive sunlight during the daytime is called the photic zone. The depth of this zone depends on the clarity or murkiness of the water. In clear water, the photic zone can be quite deep; in murky water, it can be only 50 feet deep. On average, it extends to about 660 feet. Animals that live in the photic zone are plants, such as free-floating algae, sea weeds, etc. Zooplankton, most ocean fish, sea turtles, seals, etc. Bottom-dwellers such as starfish and sea shells live in the photic zone too. This zone is defined in terms of light, not depth.
