What Animals Live in the Bathyal Zone? A: Some animals that live in the bathyal zone are vampire squid, bristlemouth fish, angler fish, slimestar, brittlestar, snake dragonfish and amphipods. Occasionally, sperm whales can go to this ocean depth chasing after prey like giant squid. However, the bathyal or bathypelagic zone is at a depth that is between approximately 3,300 to 13,000 feet.

Ocean Zones The sunlit zone is home to a wide variety of marine species because plants can grow here and water temperatures are relatively warm. Lots of marine animals can be found in the sunlit zone including sharks, tuna, mackerel, jellyfish, sea turtles, seals and sea lions and stingrays. There are not a lot of places to hide in the sunlit zone! Some species have an adaptation called countershading.

Ocean zones and Marine life: nekton, benthos, and plankton It is the top zone of the ocean. Ninety percent of all marine life live in the sunlight zone, mostly because it is an easy place for plants to flourish and has the least pressure. Some of examples of life that live in the sunlight zone are clownfish, sharks, stingrays, jellyfish, sea-turtles, coral, plankton, and seals. The sunlight zone goes down about 600 ft. into the ocean. Plankton thrives in this zone.

Oceanic Zones Below the sunlit zone is the twilight zone where some light penetrates the ocean to a depth of 3000 feet. Viper fish, firefly squid, and the chambered nautilus live in this zone. The midnight zone extends from a depth of 3000 feet to the seafloor.Animals found in this zone include the giant squid, deep sea hatchetfish and bioluminescent jellyfish.Benthic zone. The benthic zone includes the entire seafloor. About 200,000 species of plants and animals live here.elow the sunlit zone is the twilight zone where some light penetrates the ocean to a depth of 3000 feet. Viper fish, firefly squid, and the chambered nautilus live in this zone. The midnight zone extends from a depth of 3000 feet to the seafloor.

Layers of the Ocean The temperature never fluctuates far from a chilling 39°F (4°C). The pressure in the bathypelagic zone is extreme and at depths of 13,100 feet (4,000 meters), reaches over 5850 pounds per square inch! Yet, sperm whales can dive down to this level in search of food.

Swim bladder Most mesopelagic fishes are small filter feeders which ascend at night to feed in the nutrient rich waters of the epipelagic zone. During the day, they return to the dark, cold, oxygen deficient waters of the mesopelagic where they are relatively safe from predators.

Ocean zones and Marine life: nekton, benthos, and plankton Nekton. Nekton are the animals that can move by themselves in the ocean waters. Nekton live in all zones of the ocean. However, just like benthos and plankton, most live in the sunlight zone or shallow twilight zone since there is the most sunlight and it is easy to feed on smaller organisms such as krill and minnows.

- The open ocean or pelagic zone is the largest area of the marine ecosystem and contains a diverse environment of life. Although the pelagic zone has the greatest volume and vertical range of any life zone, it is only home to about 10% of all marine species.

Midnight Zone Explore by Region Explore By Ecosystem. Midnight Zone. At approximately 3300 feet (1005 m), no light is able to penetrate the ocean water. Unlike the Twilight Zone which may appear pitch black to the naked eye, the Midnight Zone (Bathypelagic Zone) truly is a lightless universe.

Plankton These organisms include drifting animals, protists, archaea, algae, or bacteria that inhabit the pelagic zone of oceans, seas, or bodies of fresh water; that is, plankton are defined by their ecological niche rather than phylogenetic or taxonomic classification.ithin the plankton, holoplankton spend their entire life cycle as plankton (e.g. most algae, copepods, salps, and some jellyfish).

- that part of a lake, sea, or ocean that is the habitat of pelagic organisms—plankton, necton, and pleuston. The pelagic zone is opposed to the benthic zone, that is, the bottom of the body of water, which is inhabited by benthos.

Spinal Curves The cervical spine is made up of seven small vertebrae that begin at the base of the skull and end at the upper chest. The thoracic spine is made up of 12 vertebrae that start from the upper chest to the middle back and connect to the rib cage. The lumbar vertebra consists of five larger vertebrae.our spine is made up of three segments. When viewed from the side, these segments form three natural curves. The c-shaped curves of the neck (cervical spine) and lower back (lumbar spine) are called lordosis.

What Animals Live in the Oceanic Zone? Quick Answer. Animal life from the topmost to the lowest oceanic zone ranges from sharks and other fish to deep-sea squid and echinoderms such as the sea pig and sea cucumber. The oceanic or pelagic zone has every form of animal life that lives away from the coastal regions.

What are pelagic fish? However, true oceanic species spend their entire life in the open ocean. Pelagic fish get their name from the area that they inhabit called the pelagic zone. The pelagic zone is the largest habitat on earth with a volume of. . Different species of pelagic fish are found throughout this zone. Numbers and distributions vary regionally and vertically, depending on availability of light, nutrients, dissolved oxygen, temperature, salinity, and pressure.

Epipelagic Zone Unique Things about this Zone Ninety percent of the oceans animals and plants live in the epipelagic zone because of its warm temp. and sunlight. The depth of this zone depends on the clarity or murkiness of the water. In clear water, the euphotic zone can be quite deep; in murky water, it can be only 50 feet deep.

- Unit Six SSWIMS/Plankton Project Oceanography Fall 2001 107 Zooplankton Planktonic animals are called zooplankton. Unlike phytoplankton, which must have sunlight to live, zooplankton can live at all depths of the ocean. Zooplankton are either holoplankton (permanent plankton) or meroplankton (temporary plankton). Holoplankton live up in the water all of their lives.

Critter Catalog Indo-Pacific sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) are found in temperate and tropical ocean waters. These fish are often found near tropical areas, especially near the equatorial regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.lthough they are not threatened or endangered, Indo-Pacific sailfish are considered a 'data-poor fishery' by the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission due to the increased fishing pressure, with an average yearly catch between 2008 to 2012 estimated at 26,283 metric tons.

- The 3 largest species of pelagic shark – the whale shark, the basking shark and the megamouth shark – are all filter feeders and eat mainly plankton. Most pelagic sharks are viviparous - the eggs are fertilized inside the female's body, and live 'pups' are hatched.
