What is aphotic zone?
The aphotic zone is the deepest part of the ocean where sunlight cannot reach. It is characterized by complete darkness and is home to various deep-sea organisms that have adapted to survival without light. The aphotic zone starts below the photic zone, which is the upper layer of the ocean where sunlight can penetrate.
List six distinct ecological zones that can be found in the ocean?
The six distinct ecological zones in the ocean are the epipelagic zone (sunlight zone), mesopelagic zone (twilight zone), bathypelagic zone (midnight zone), abyssopelagic zone (abyssal zone), hadalpelagic zone (trench zone), and intertidal zone (shoreline area). Each zone has unique characteristics and supports different types of marine life.
What do hatchet fish eat in the midnight zone?
Hatchet fish in the midnight zone primarily feed on small organisms like zooplankton, phytoplankton, and small fish. They have specialized adaptations like bioluminescence to attract prey in the dark depths of the ocean. Their diet helps them survive and thrive in the extreme conditions of the deep sea.
What fish live in the euphotic zone?
Common fish that live in the euphotic zone include mackerel, anchovies, and tuna. These fish are typically found near the surface of the water where sunlight can penetrate, allowing for photosynthesis to occur.
Why do fish mostly stay in their zones?
Fish mostly stay in their zones because their prey is in that zone.The zones names are:1.Sunlit Zone(sunlight reaches down to about 660 feet.) 2.Twilight Zone(Light becomes dimmer,reaching from about 660 feet to 3,300 feet deep.) 3.Midnight Zone(No sunlight reaches below 3,300 feet.The deepest part of the ocean may be more than 35,000 feet deep.)
What is the similarities between zooplankton and phytoplankton?
depend on sunlght, occurs within the photic zone
What is the well lit upper layer part of the ocean is known as the?
photic zone.
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.
What is the photic zone of the ocean-?
The photic zone of the ocean is the surface of the ocean that receives sunlight.
Portion of the marine biome that is too deep for sunlight to penetrate?
I dont know i want to know the answer myself
What distinguishes the photic zone from the aphotic zone in an aquatic zone?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
Which ocean zone does sunlight penetrate?
The epipelagic zone is the region in the ocean that is exposed to a sufficient enough amount of sunlight to allow photosynthesis to occur.
Phytoplankton is most frequently found in which zones?
photic
What distinguishes the photic zone from the photic zone in marine ecosystems?
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
What distinguishes the photic zone from the zone aphotic zone in an aquatic ecosystem?
Photic = where there's light Aphotic = where there isn't light, deeper waters.
What plants and animals live in the photic zone?
Euphotic zonethe zone of water that is penetrated by sunlight, Phytoplackton make up its primary inhabitantshttp://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/2/23/150px-Phytoplankton_SoAtlantic_20060215.jpgthis is a picture of a plankton bloom
