Some animals that live in the aphotic zone include the gulper eel, giant squid, smaller squids, anglerfish, vampire squid, and numerous jellyfish. Some of the ugliest and most evil-looking fish in the world are found here, including the viper fish, fangtooth, dragonfish, lizardfish, and many others.

How do chemoautotrophs increase productivity in photic and aphotic ecosystems?

Chemoautotrophs do not increase productivity in photic zones because they reside deep down on sea floors (abyssal zone) where no light penetrates. They are, however, active in the aphotic zone where no light from the sun is visible. There, these bacteria and protozoans take both organic and inorganic compounds provided by deep sea vents and become the "algae of the photic zone". Chemoautotrophs are the primary producers in the lower aphotic zone just like algae and phytoplankton is in the photic. The vital nutrients they provide depend on the type of chemoautotroph it is.

photic and aphotic derive their names fron the root word photo means light that is photic and aphotic zone differ each other in amount of light reaching there photic zone is directly lit up by by solar energy while aphotic zone is perpetually dark inhabiting least amount of floran fauna
