Pelagic In pelagic zones there are lots of animals. Many of them are fish and some of them are mammals like whales and seals. There are epipelagic (sunlit) mesopelagic (twilight), bathypelagic (midnight), abyssopelagic (lower midnight) and hadopelagic. Fish that lives in pelagic is called pelagic fish. There are many organisms living in epipelagic where less than 200 meters like sharks, dolphins and planktons. Example in mesopelagic (200 meters down to around 1000 meters) there are organisms living in there like swordfishes and squids. At about 500 m the water becomes deplete of oxygen but still there is life in there. Bathypelagic to hadopelagics: the ocean pitch is black and there is no plant life. In bathypelagic’s depth is 1000meters to around 4000meters. Most of the organisms in bathypelagic fell out from above which means they are not strong enough to live with stronger fishes so they move to the deeper place to be safe. Example, there are giant squids and smaller squids. Abyssopelagic means bottomless in Greek. There are very few organisms in abyssopelagic like sea spiders. There is very high pressure in abyssopelagic and complete darkness. Abyssopelagic is 4000meters to seafloor. Hadopelagic means

Pelagic In pelagic zones there are lots of animals. Many of

them are fish and some of them are mammals like whales and seals. There are epipelagic (sunlit) mesopelagic (twilight), bathypelagic (midnight), abyssopelagic (lower midnight) and hadopelagic. Fish that lives in pelagic is called pelagic fish. There are many organisms living in epipelagic where less than 200 meters like sharks, dolphins and planktons. Example in mesopelagic (200 meters down to around 1000 meters) there are organisms living in there like swordfishes and squids. At about 500 m the water becomes deplete of oxygen but still there is life in there.

Bathypelagic to hadopelagics: the ocean pitch is black and there is no plant life. In bathypelagic’s depth is 1000meters to around 4000meters. Most of the organisms in bathypelagic fell out from above which means they are not strong enough to live with stronger fishes so they move to the deeper place to be safe. Example, there are giant squids and smaller squids. Abyssopelagic means bottomless in Greek. There are very few organisms in abyssopelagic like sea spiders. There is very high pressure in abyssopelagic and complete darkness. Abyssopelagic is 4000meters to seafloor. Hadopelagic means underworld in Greek. This place is mostly unknown and very few species live in here. Its depth is greater than 6000meters.

In pelagic zones, there are many kind of species and styles. Some of them are violent like great white shark, some of them are big like blue whale and some of them are small like plankton. There are amazing fishes and mammals. There are also scary-looking faces and weird faces. There are many interesting an awesome animals
