Bathyal Zone
The Bathyal Zone is a part of the ocean that lies between the depths of 200 meters to 2,000 meters. This zone is characterized by its cold temperatures and limited light, making it a unique habitat for various marine life. Organisms in this zone have adapted to the high pressure and low light conditions, often exhibiting bioluminescence to attract prey or communicate.
In the Bathyal Zone, you can find a variety of species, including deep-sea fish, squid, and some types of crustaceans. The environment is also home to unique ecosystems, such as hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, which support diverse communities of organisms that rely on chemosynthesis rather than sunlight for energy.
