Many species in the open ocean vertically migrate upwards in the ocean at night to feed. In which zone do they live in during the daylight?

Question

1)Hadal
2)Epipelagic
3)Mesopelagic
4)Abyssalpelagic

Answer 1

Many species that vertically migrate upwards to feed at night typically reside in the Mesopelagic zone during the daylight hours. The Mesopelagic zone, also known as the twilight zone, extends from about 200 meters to 1,000 meters deep in the ocean and is characterized by reduced light and some biological activity. During the daytime, these organisms seek refuge deeper in the water column to avoid predators.

So the correct answer is: 3) Mesopelagic.
