I'll stick to the neritic zones of the ocean, thanks very much! pleats 17 hours agoĪre the benthic zones of the ocean related to the aphotic zones? I understood that the benthic zones included any part of the ocean floor, from the very shallow to the very deep. I say, who needs to think about aliens and things from other planets - earth plays host to so many creatures that we don't even know about, and look truly scarier than any alien that I can imagine. The abyssopelagic zone is located from 4,000 m to directly above the ocean floor and is a completely dark area home to colorless and blind animals. You might recognize a lantern fish from finding Nemo, where Dory and Marlin go into the deep cavern looking for the dive mask, and are then drawn to the shiny floating light. 25 of the estimated 8,700,000 species on earth live in the ocean depths, and 91 of those have yet to be discovered. They use that tip to lure fish towards them, and then gulp them down before they even realize what's going on. The density of organisms is therefore low. Bacteria are a type of microbe, or organism so small that it can only be seen with the use of a microscope. The decompsers that we can found in Abyssal zone are : 1. Ooh, you get the creepiest looking animals in the aphotic zone.įor instance, the lantern fish - talk about creepy! It's got giant black eyes, sharp, needle-like teeth that overlap and stick out of it's mouth, a protruding under-jaw, and, weirdest of all, a little protrusion coming out of their head like a fishing rod that has a small luminous tip. Abyssal zone known as the home for many decomposers which feed on bits and pieces of dead stuff that sink down to the bottom. The ocean covers 83 of the world’s surface and 60 of the ocean’s area. This zone remains in perpetual darkness at depths of 4,000 to 6,000 meters (13,300 to 20,000 feet). Abyss derives from the Greek word, meaning bottomless. Maybe I'll just say on the beach this year. The Abyssal Zone, or Abyssopelagic Zone, is a layer in the pelagic zone of the ocean. Or what about a potato grouper? Regular groupers are kind of ugly, but a potato grouper is like a lumpy, super-sized, super-ugly grouper. I mean, I defy you to find a "pretty" eel. Of course, you get some creepers in the neritic zones too - what about hagfish? Or eels, for that matter. I have to agree, the aphotic zone of the ocean is home to the weirdest looking animals on the planet. i hope that you guys have learned so much as i have and want to continue on with this biome don't like science a whole lot until it comes to certain things and i love this! LittleMan 17 hours ago I'm having to do a project on this biome and i think it's awesome and want to learn as much as i can. ![]() I know that because it's a place that doesn't get light that they have had to make changes but it's amazing what lives down there. I think that there are so many things we can learn from these neat individuals. ![]() ![]() Yes they may be creepy, or to you ugly, but i think there as neat and different as we are.
