The zone of an aquatic ecosystem that tends to have more life, both producers and consumers, is the photic zone. This zone receives sufficient sunlight to support photosynthesis, which allows for a greater abundance of producers like plants and phytoplankton. As a result, there is also a higher diversity and number of consumers that feed on these producers.
