* Aphotic Zone
Bioluminescent organisms are found mainly in the mesopelagic zone of the ocean, also known as the twilight zone. This zone is located between the surface and the deep sea, typically between depths of 200 to 1000 meters, where very little sunlight penetrates. Bioluminescence is an important adaptation for organisms in this area to communicate, camouflage, or attract prey.
Many bioluminescent organisms are found in the deeper parts of the ocean, particularly in the bathypelagic zone, which ranges from about 1,000 to 4,000 meters (3,280 to 13,123 feet) deep. This region is dark, and the ability to produce light helps these organisms attract prey, communicate, or evade predators. Some bioluminescent species can also be found in shallower waters, particularly in areas with minimal light penetration.
Plants found in the Twilight Zone, which is a deep ocean region with limited light, include bioluminescent species like lanternfish. Other common plants are phytoplankton and algae that have adapted to low-light conditions. These plants form the base of the food chain in this dark and mysterious ocean region.
almost 90% of organisms in the ocean live in the uppermost zone
Abyssal zone
Animals that can be found in the midnight ocean zone include deep-sea fish like anglerfish, gulper eels, and hatchetfish. Other creatures, such as giant squid and vampire squids, are also known to inhabit this deep and dark region of the ocean.
The animals that live in the midnight zone are bioluminescent jellyfish, angler fish, tube worms, and a lot of phytoplankton
Animals that produce their own light, known as bioluminescent organisms, are commonly found in the deep ocean, particularly in the mesopelagic zone (200 to 1,000 meters deep) and the bathypelagic zone (1,000 to 4,000 meters deep). These depths are characterized by low light conditions, making bioluminescence an effective adaptation for communication, predation, and camouflage. Some species can also be found in shallower waters, especially in coastal regions and during specific times of the year.
The bathypelagic zone, also known as the midnight zone, extends from a depth of approximately 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) to about 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) in the ocean. In this zone, sunlight does not penetrate, resulting in complete darkness and cold temperatures. It is home to a variety of organisms adapted to high pressure and low light conditions, such as bioluminescent creatures.

open-ocean surface zone
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.
