1. Zon Aphotic: The region of a lake or sea where no light penetrates and is situated
beneath the euphotic zone. The aphotic zone contains no algae or phytoplankton,
and its inhabitants are exclusively carnivorous animals or organisms that feed on
sediment or detritus, all reliant on energy inputs from the euphotic zone. It extends
downwards from a depth of about 1000 m, or less in turbid waters, and includes
the abyssal zone.

2. Zon Mesopelagik: The middle layer of the world's oceans receives only faint,
filtered sunlight during the daytime and not enough light for photosynthesis to take
place, so no plants live in this zone. The amount of light decreases with depth.
Because of this, food is not abundant. The water temperature is cold and decreases
with depth. Whereas the pressure is high and increases with depth. The types of
foods available to animals living at this depth tends to be energy-poor and tends to
be characterized by detritus and bacteria, the things that drift down from the
creatures in the sunlit zone teeming and thriving at the surface. Most of the sea
creatures living in this layer have low energy tissues and sluggish life styles to cope
with low food energy, since no algae can grow.
3. Zon Hadalpelagik: The Hadalpelagic zone is the deepest of the deep sea's layers.
The temperature in this zone drops very low with an immense pressure. Because of
the complete absence of light, creatures here don't have color pigments and their
wide eyes are only used for detecting bioluminescence emanated from other
creatures.
4. Zon Batypelagik: In the bathypelagic zone there is a total absence of sunlight.
The only light is from bioluminescent organisms, and the only food is what trickles
down from above, or from eating other animals. Although the water pressure at this
depth is considerable, there are many different representatives of the normal
marine groups: fish, mollusks, jellies, and crustaceans. Sperm whales can dive down
into this zone when hunting giant squid. At these depths and below, most animals
are either black or red in color. Because only the faintest blue/green light penetrates
this deep, and most bioluminescence is blue in colour, red is not reflected and looks
black.
