Post General Information About Mesopelagic And Bathypelagic Opean Ocean Here
Our zone covers from 200m to 1000m down in the Ocean, is largely deprived of light and is therefore home to many interesting creatures and organisms inhabiting the so-called twilight and midnight zones.
Due to the harsh conditions described by Smart, most believed not many, if any organisms could live in harsh conditions. Nonetheless, it led to the evolution of bio-luminescent creatures such as the angler fish, species with large eyes to see any possible light such as the giant squid and dependence on detritus as food or if size allows, a temporary place of shelter.
The Bathypelagic zone ranges from 1000-4000m down. The only light is from bioluminescent organisms that "glow in the dark." The only sources of food are what trickles down from above and the other animals that live there.
