Difference between euphotic and aphotic zones:
Euphotic zone:
- It is the area on the ocean surface (fewer than 200 feet in most areas) that has sufficient light to help photosynthesis.
- Below is the disphotic region, illuminated but so poorly that respiration levels outweigh photosynthesis rates.
Aphotic Zone:
- The Aphotic Zone is the area of the deep ocean that never penetrates sunlight. There are many differences of marine life in the aphotic region.
- It acts as a dark zone for predatory fish that use light to catch food from their own bodies. There are also many deep-sea trenches and volcanoes in the region.
