These particles consist primarily of either the microscopic, calcareous or siliceous shells of phytoplankton or zooplankton clay size siliciclastic sediment or some mixture of these. Trace amounts of meteoric dust and variable amounts of volcanic ash occur within pelagic sediments. Based upon the composition of the ooze are three main types of pelagic sediments.

The bathyal zone or bathypelagic from Greek wikt bath s , deep also known as midnight zone is that part of the pelagiczone that extends from a depth of 1000 to 4000 metres 3300 to 13000 feet below the Sea level ocean surface . It lies between the mesopelagic above, and the abyssopelagic below. The average temperature hovers at about 39 F 4 C . Although larger by volume than the euphotic zone , the bathyal zone is less densely populated. Sunlight does not reach this zone, meaning there can be no primary production . It is known as the midnight zone because of this feature. Because of the lack of light, some species do not have eyes, however those possessing eyes in this zone include the viperfish and the frill shark . Many forms of nekton live in the bathyal zone, such as squid , large whale s and octopus es, but this zone is difficult for fish to live in. Sponges, brachiopods, sea stars, and echinoids are also common in the bathyal zone. The fish in this zone have become very energy efficient, since it is especially hard to find nutrients. Many have slow metabolic rates to conserve energy. The fish here have weak muscles, soft skin and slimy bodies. Animals in the bathyal zone are not threatened by predation predator s that can see them, so they do not have powerful muscles. Animals need to have the right adaptions to survive in this lethal area. There are no plants because of the lack of sunlight necessary for photosynthesis. In the bathyal some of the world s largest whales feed. Except where the ocean is exceptionally deep, the bathyal zone extends to the benthic zone on the ocean bed of that part of the continental slope that lies between 1000 and 4000 metres deep. clear See also Bathypelagic fish References cite conference first C.

aquatic layer topics The aphotic zone aphotic from Greek language Greek prefix lang grc lang grc without light is the portion of a lake or ocean where there is little or no sunlight. It is formally defined as the depths beyond which less than 1 of sunlight penetrates. Consequently, bioluminescence is essentially the only light found in this zone. Most food comes from dead organisms sinking to the bottom of the lake or ocean from overlying waters. The depth of the aphotic zone can be greatly affected by such things as turbidity and the season of the year. The aphotic zone underlies the photic zone , which is that portion of a lake or ocean directly affected by sunlight.
