4000 m 6000 m and Hadal from 6000 m and below zones Pelagic division includes Mesopelagic 200.

Deep ocean animals adaptations. Many animals make their own light called bioluminescence to communicate find mates scare predators or attract prey. Eyes contain a type of light receptor called rods. LS4 - Biological Diversity.

Animals adapt to their environments to help them survive. In some other deep-sea fishes eyes are very small as they are of little apparent use and still others are without eyes. Encourage students to think about adaptations in marine animals related to obtaining food providing camouflage or safety from predators or dealing with changes in temperature salinity pressure lack of sunlight and need for oxygen.

Contains a chart for students to label the different zones of the ocean as well as a chart to keep track of different animalcreature adaptations in different zones. There are several ways deep-ocean animals survive in such an environment. Introduction to Deep Sea Adaptation.
