SUNLIGHT ZONESUNLIGHT ZONE
• Top layer, nearest the surface
• Also called euphotic zone
• Enough light penetrating the water for photosynthesis
• More than 90% of all marine life
lives here

SUNLIGHT ZONESUNLIGHT ZONE
• Goes down about 600 ft.
• Most fish live in this zone– (Stingrays, seals, jellyfish, turtles)
• Plankton live here. – Plankton are drifters…they can’t swim.– Usually microscopic – Beginning of the food chain

TWILIGHT ZONETWILIGHT ZONE
• Small amount of light can penetrate water
• No plants
• Only those that have adapted
to little light
• Also known as disphotic zone.

TWILIGHT ZONETWILIGHT ZONE
• Between 600 – 3,000 feet below the surface
• Some squid and fish can use their bodies to make light
• Bioluminescence
• They Glow!

TWILIGHT ZONETWILIGHT ZONE
• Some twilight zone dwellers
(like lantern fish)
will swim into the sunlight zone
at night to find food.

MIDNIGHT ZONEMIDNIGHT ZONE
• 90% of the ocean
• Entirely dark—no light
• Temperature is near freezing
• Also called aphotic zone

MIDNIGHT ZONEMIDNIGHT ZONE
• What lives here?
• Some are close to cracks in the Earth's crust
• Cracks give off mineral-rich materials
• Bacteria uses minerals from the cracks for energy
• All other living things in the midnight zone are nourished by these bacteria.
