Question

This is an angelfish. There are more than 200 species of angelfish, most of which live in the darkness of the Atlantic and Antarctic oceans, up to a mile below the surface. In which zones are there most likely to be an angelfish?
1)epipelagic and mesopelagic
2)mesopelagic and bathypelagic
3)abyssopelagic and hadal
4)epipelagic

Answer 1

Angelfish are primarily found in the epipelagic and mesopelagic zones. The epipelagic zone, also known as the sunlight zone, extends from the surface to about 200 meters deep and is where most of the ocean's life exists due to sufficient light for photosynthesis. The mesopelagic zone, or twilight zone, extends from about 200 meters to 1,000 meters, where light begins to fade and different species adapt to darker conditions.

Given the options provided, the correct answer is:

1) epipelagic and mesopelagic
