Deep
Ocean
|
The deep ocean is way out
in the middle of the oceans where it gets real deep. |
|
The upper 100m of the
water is considered the sunlit zone. |
|
Light is reduced between
600 and 1000 feet depth. Animals inhabiting this mid-water have large eyes, a
variety of light organs and are usually silvery gray, black, purple or in color. |
|
Body tissues of the
deep-sea fish usually have more water and less fats and proteins. They are more like
jellyfish than fish. |
